function variable_get

Returns a persistent variable.

Case-sensitivity of the variable_* functions depends on the database collation used. To avoid problems, always use lower case for persistent variable names.

Parameters

$name: The name of the variable to return.

$default: The default value to use if this variable has never been set.

Return value

The value of the variable. Unserialization is taken care of as necessary.
