How do I set a variable from inside a function?

Question

How do I set a variable from inside a function? $test is supposed to be an object, I don't know if that makes a difference.

<?php
    $test;

    function hi() {
        $test = new obj();
    }
?>

Whenever I check if $test is set, I get false. This is not a class so I can't do $this->test

sorry I couldn't find an answer. thanks for the help though – bakely Oct 17 '16 at 00:35 — bakely, Oct 17 '16 at 00:35
