$post_name

[alxvallejo]

I have $post_name as an argument for a function in a plugin. I have no idea where $post_name is assigned. It's not a global variable, I checked it out here: http://ifacethoughts.net/2006/02/25/wordpress-global-variables/

Any ideas? I'm thinking it's in a core file somewhere.

I'm assuming you are talking about it being defined in the function call, like so: function do_stuff( $post_name = 'Hello', $post_status = 'public' ){ //do stuff in this function }

If that's the case, then $post_name has a scope local to that function.
