passing parameter using include_once()

[african_bob]

Hi,

 

Im new to using php and im having difficulty passing a paramter via the include_once method. I have a page which implements paging so each time a user clicks on the next button it calls the same page but with a new page number .e.g <a href=\"javascript:goToPage('paging.php?page=$page','lists');\">[Next]</a>

 

This works fine when i just use the href without the include_once function.

 

Any suggestions on how i can fix this?

 

Thanks

how are you trying to use include_once()? can we see code?

[african_bob]

ya sure,

 

if($pagePost != "")

{

//If page is index.php then include the home.php page

//Else include the page specified

if($pagePost == "index.php")

{

include_once("home.php");

}

else

{

include_once($pagePost);

}

}

okay, i don't see anything odd there. you don't need to pass parameters to an included() file. it's like copying the code in the included file and pasting it where the include() is. what is the problem you are having?

this is the goToPafe function i use;

function goToPage(page, headerText)

{

 

var masterPage = "index.php";

//var destinationPage = masterPage +"?page="+page;

var str = "Masterpage:"+masterPage+" Page:"+page;

document.forms['navigationForm'].action = masterPage;

document.forms['navigationForm'].page.value = page;

document.forms['navigationForm'].headerText.value = headerText;

document.forms['navigationForm'].method = "POST";

document.forms['navigationForm'].submit();

 

}

the problem im having is that when i try pass the parameter using the gotoPage function the function sees the string and paramater and thinks its the name of a file and looks for that file however i want it to recognise that im passing a parameter

 

This is the warning i get;

 

Warning: include_once(paging3.php?page=2) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory
