[SOLVED] How to include local page with '?' in url ??

[nicob]

I'm trying to include the content of a search in a local format. But it's not working with the '?' etc in the url. Any solution for this ???

 

<?php include "/home/account/domains/domain.com/public_html/search.php?keyword=garden&submit=Search"; ?>

<?php 
$_GET['keyword'] = "garden";
$_GET['submit'] = "Search";
include "/home/account/domains/domain.com/public_html/search.php"; 
?>

You don't need to pass data into the URL of the search file because it is in the scope of your php script.  So, like premiso said, just pass it variables instead.

Yea I guess I could have elaborated on that.

 

But basically if you called the include like:

include "http://www.yoursite.com/file/search.php?keyword=garden&submit=Search"; 

 

It would work, granted that url_include is allowed, which most servers disable for security reasons.

 

The above way I posted is the preferred way since no processing is needed to be done and that way it does not just give you the straight html, like calling the above would.

Thanks! I was searching for this solution because they (other webmasters) told me that a local include is better than a http-include. They mean it's better for the server.
