Hi,
So simple just declare your variable with global keyword in your php file and then initiate your global variable.
Now your global variable available in anywhere in your project until unless you are disable the module.
For example...

<?php
global $myglobal;
$myglobal= 'abc123';
....
....

But More powerful drupal way is,

<?php
function yourmodule_init(){
global $myglobal;
$myglobal= 'abc123';
....
....
}

Note: your main.php should be included in drupal running way....
good luck...,
