PHP includes & variables

I don't have much time to say this but I'm going to try and hurry...

Here's a snippet of code:

$subName = "someName";

include "contentHeader.php";
Inside of contentHeader:

echo $subName;
--------------------------

I know that this variable is correct because I had tried to use it on the original page that has the include file and it works. However when I try to echo it using the include page, it does not work. I can't explain in great detail right now but all I know is I need to get that variable from the original page and allow it to echo in contentHeader. What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks!! Sorry for the rush, hope you can answer

That looks like that should work. Is an error message being displayed? Maybe set error reporting to report all errors. If there is a minor issue that may report it to you.
