Passing get/post to include

[leedude]

Im trying to pass a get variable to an include called note.php:

include "note.php?title=note1";

This causes the note to not show up at all.
I have tried going to note.php?title=note1 in a browser and it works fine.
I have also tried include "note.php";. This creates a blank note on the page(it works).

Is there some special function i have to use to pass variables to an include?

Please help.

You cannot pass url parameters when including files, they will be ignored.

what wildteen88 said + try the following code

[code]
<?php
if (!@$_GET['title']) {
   // if the following line returns error's then comment the line, and uncomment the second
  header('Location: ' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?title=note1');
   //echo "<script>window.location.href='" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "?title=note1';</script>";
}
include('note.php');

//now the get/post variable should be available in your note.php file
// note.php
echo $_GET['title'];
?>
[/code]

I forgot to mention this earlier. Instad of parsing the url parameters in the include statement you should use them on the page that is including the file.
