Can't output a variable to HTML

[Phester]

I have this code on a page:

<p class="appTitle ">
<?php echo "$appTitle" ; ?>
</p>

But the resulting HTML is:

<p class="appTitle ">
</p>

$appTitle is a global variable which I've declared at the top of the
page in a require_once file like this:

$_GLOBALS['appTitle'] = "My App Title";

According to my debugger, $appTitle is defined with the correct value
when execution reaches that point.

I've also tried,

<?= "$appTitle" ?>

However this work fine:

<?php
$appTitle = "My app";
?>
<?= $appTitle ?>

I have a feeling the answer is something totally obvious, and I'm just
not seeing it.

OK thanks. That solved it.
