Include

[aeroswat]

Is include not able to use GET variables in the location name? This doesn't seem to work...

 

include 'order.php?sn=1';

[premiso]

No, because you would just define the variable instead.

 

$_GET['sn'] = 1; // or $sn = 1; however it is coded
include 'order.php';

 

Would work, reason being. You are including the script and not executing it. If you want it to execute you can use file_get_contents to execute it then echo the output, but you would have to use the full URL.

Would header work?

 

Edit: Nevermind I see what you are saying... it works this way. Although strangely enough using that same include is not still retrieving other variables... it's picking and choosing what variables it wants to keep for some reason.

Would header work?

 

If you want to redirect to the page, sure.

no.  include() is simply, well, including the code from the respective file.  the statement does not execute/parse/etc., the code as a browser would if using the $_GET superglobal in the URL or something along those lines.

 

it's used just to include a file so that the respective code/script is made available to the parent script/file.

 

you could look into several functions that might (or might not work) in this case to accomplish such a task:

 

curl, file_get_contents, fopen, just to name a few.

 

EDIT: or do as premiso's first post there suggested.

Oddly enough it is not reading 90% of the variables... It is correctly still able to access that get variable but it is not able to read regular variables... any idea for why this is? The code that declares the variables is included next to the include of the same code that tries to read it...

[mrMarcus]

there is no reason those variables can't be accessed from one include file to the other.  once a file is included, it is as if that code is embedded directly on the page.

 

show code on how you are declaring variables and how they are being used in the included file(s).

Ok I got it to work... Now I have another issue... The display on the divider at the bottom is not working correctly. If the variable is set to 1 then this divider should show... if not it should be hidden. The div id is hidBook

Took this out

[premiso]

 "<div id='hidBook' style='display:" . ($ordBook=='1' ? 'block' : 'none') . ";'>" .

 

You have to concatenate it since it is an operation that is taking place.

[aeroswat]

Wow... nevermind i'm a dummy. I forgot the concat operator for echo ><

 

EDIT: Ya lol sorry
