I'm trying to do something like this

$level=0;
if($a=="x"){
$level=1;
}
Else{ $level=2;}

How I can use the new value of $level outside the scope of IF Statement

Once you get through the IF statement the new value, for the $level variable, will be valid for the remaining code:

$level = 0;
echo $level; # outputs: 0

# for the example, random choice
$a = rand(1, 2);

if($a == 1)
    $level = 1;

else
    $level = 2;

echo $level; # outputs: 1 or 2, nevermore 0
