How does scope affect the usage of arrays in include statements within functions in PHP?

Scope affects the usage of arrays in include statements within functions in PHP because variables and arrays defined outside of a function are not accessible within the function unless they are explicitly passed as parameters. To solve this issue, you can use the "global" keyword to access the global scope variables or pass the array as a parameter to the function. 

// Define an array outside of the function
$myArray = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

// Function that uses the array
function myFunction() {
    global $myArray; // Access the global scope array
    foreach ($myArray as $value) {
        echo $value . ' ';
    }
}

// Call the function
myFunction();
