   Is there a possibility to get a variable I've stored in the php-plugin? Like [shortcode arg="value"] ...but vice-versa. For example: I have a shortcode-function called [example]
   and the following php-script:

   $variable1 = "text1";
   $variable2 = "text2";
   return $variable1 ." ". $variable2;

   No problem, if I call the [example]-Shortcode, it will write "text1 text2" - BUT I'd like to have only the first variable.

   The reason of my question is simple: I do use different shortcodes for those who are guests, and those whoe are loggedin. Most of the php-script is the same and I have many (!) php-scripts, so it's better not to duplicate the whole scripts and styling them every time again. I hope you got my ugly english :-D

   Regards
   Sebastian

   I am not sure what you want, but you can pass arguments to a shortcode, take a look in the WordPress codex for how to. It is also possible to store things, take a look at the update_option function.

   Sorry, I'm not quite familiar with it and have problems to understand it. Hopefully you'll get it now ;) Let me do an example: In the article I write e.g. (I know, it's the wrong code):

   [shortcode getthisvariableandpublish--->>>variable1]

   In the shortcode exec php-plugin I've added the shortcode called shortcode with the variable $variable1. There are other variables, so I cannot return them. I want just ONE variable... the $variable1.

   The article should now proceed the text, which is included in the $variable1.

   I think you want something like this:

   extract(shortcode_atts(array('text' => 'default'), $atts));
   if ($text == 'a') return 'Text A';
   else return 'Text B';

   [shortcode text="a"] -> 'Text A'

   [shortcode text="b"] -> 'Text B'
