So you have a little module that defines paths
 
/*  paths.php
$php_path = "/home/domain/php/";
$lib_path = "/home/domain/public_html/libs/";
...
...
 
 
Then in your code you include the above file and in your other includes you use the appropriate path var:
 
include($php_path . "connect.php");
include($lib_path . "functions.php");
...
...

$first = true; while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {    if ($first)    {       $first = false;        continue;    } ... ... ...

The url that would be used is:
 
domain.com/mypage.php?quitdate=x
 
To receive that value in your script you need:
 
if (isset($_GET['quitdate']))
     $quit_date = $_GET['quitdate'];
else
     (handle a missing argument however you wish)
 
Of course you then need to validate that value to be sure it is something you expect
