hellonoko Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I have a $_GET variable 'user' in the query string that I use am using to display a certain users files. index.php?user=bob I have two files: menu.php and index.php In the menu.php file I am trying to use $_GET['user']; to display a line that says: View files from [and the user name here] Then in index.php the same $_GET variable is used to choose what files are displayed. The index.php usage works and when I call menu.php on its own it works. But when I use menu.php as an include of index.php the $_GET variable will not work in menu.php Can I not use $_GET variables in include files?

hellonoko Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 Yes that is what I am saying I do and DOES work. If I go to menu.php?user=bob it displays bob.

DeanWhitehouse Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 so thats the whole code? Also have you made sure it is on the index page? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/130196-using-_get-in-included-files/#findComment-675218 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellonoko Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 Haha no but pretty much. <html> <head> <link href="http://www..com/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <script language="javascript"> function toggle_it(itemID){ // Toggle visibility between none and inline if ((document.getElementById(itemID).style.display == 'none')) { document.getElementById(itemID).style.display = 'inline'; } else { document.getElementById(itemID).style.display = 'none'; } } </script> </head> <body> <?php echo $_GET['user']; echo '<table width="100%" align="center" border="0">'; echo "<tr>"; echo '<td bgcolor="#FFFFFF">'; echo "<span class=red_menu>Hello: $_SESSION[login] </span>"; echo '<span class=black_menu><a href="http://www..com/flashupload2/">Upload</a></span>'; echo "<span class=black_menu> | </span>"; echo '<span class=black_menu><a href="http://www..com/REPOSITORY/">Download</a></span>'; echo "<span class=black_menu> | </span>"; echo '<span class=black_menu><a href="http://www..com/flashupload2/logout.php">Logout</a></span>'; echo "<span class=black_menu> Viewing uploads from: "; echo $display; echo "</span>"; echo "</td>"; echo "</tr>"; echo "</table>"; ?> Works when called on its own. Fails when used as an include of index.php and when I say fails i mean just echos empty.

DeanWhitehouse Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I don't think you can do it like that, i don't think you can include files and use $_GET or $_POST in them. Why not have an if statement instead in the main page?
