Variables and Include

[neobolt]

<?php

$header = $_COOKIE['mss']['header'];
$body = $_COOKIE['mss']['body'];
$footer = $_COOKIE['mss']['footer'];


include '$header';
include '$body';
include '$footer';


?>

 

The variables don't seem to get input. I receive this error.

Warning: main(echo $header): failed to open stream: No such file or directory

Single quotes don't parse variables. So you're using the literal string '$header', instead of the contents of the variable $header. Instead use no quotes, or double quotes.

<?php

$header = $_COOKIE['mss']['header'];
$body = $_COOKIE['mss']['body'];
$footer = $_COOKIE['mss']['footer'];

include $header;
include $body;
include $footer;

?>

 

You mean like this?

I still get the same error.

Warning: main(): Failed opening '' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/content/m/y/s/mystartspot/html/MyStartSpot/go.php on line 8

Are you sure the variables have a value?

Sorry. Thanks for your help it works perfectly!

 

I forgot that I cleared my cookies earlier so the variables no longer had their values.
