What is the issue with using variables in functions in PHP?

The issue with using variables in functions in PHP is that variables declared outside of the function are not accessible within the function's scope. To solve this issue, you can use the "global" keyword to access global variables within a function. 

$globalVariable = "Hello";

function myFunction() {
    global $globalVariable;
    echo $globalVariable;
}

myFunction(); // Output: Hello
