Query Strings & Include()

[Guest]

Hey,

Just a thought-I thought it might be useful if true: Can include (and its require counterpart) pass $_GET variables through to the page it's including, say:

[code]include('header.php?page=12');[/code]

Thanks.

no, include does not load the page it just inserts the code for processing on the same page, but if the $_GET was set in the page holding the include(); function it would affect the included file in the same manner

Giving you an example; if you have a file called "header.php":

[code]<?php

echo 'Page: ' . $_GET['page'];

?>[/code]

Now if you access header.php?page=12 it will print out:
[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]Page: 12[/quote]

But if you have another file, called another.php:

[code]<?php

include 'header.php';
echo 'Included!';

?>[/code]

And access another.php?page=15, it will print:

[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]Page: 15
Included[/quote]
