Include with $_GET variables won't find file?

[Mutley]

When I do this:

<?php include("find.php?team=".$team."&subject=".$subject.""); ?>

I get this error:
Warning: main(find.php?team=1&subject=2006) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in

However if I goto the file with my browser address, like www.mysite.com/find.php?team=1&subject=2  ...it works? Anyone know why?

You don't have a file that's [b]named[/b] find.php?team=1&subject=2000 so it can't be included.  With that in the browser address bar, you're finding find.php which then processes the information in the query string.

[Daniel0]

Yeah, it's because you try to include a file on the filesystem that is actually called "find.php?team=1&subject=2000", but there is not a file called that. When you type the url you tell the server to load "find.php", which exists, then the rest is parsed as GET variables.

If you want the output of of what you include, then just do this: [code]<?php echo file_get_contents("http://www.mysite.com/find.php?team={$team}&subject={$subject}"); ?>[/code] or if you want to include the file, but have some variables set, then just set the variables before and then include find.php

How can I do this then? Any fix of some sort?

I need it to include a file with the variables in the URL.

No, you need something that works.  That might be a [i]partial copy[/i] of find.php that accepts variable already declared, e.g.

[code]<?php
$team = 1;
$subject = 2000;
include("the_working_part_of_find.php");[/code]

Thanks alot! I've got that to work now but I have a similar problem here in a FUNCTION:

[code]{
echo "<a href=\"http://www.mysite.com/galleryfind.php?team=$team&subject=2006&game={$item}\"\n>{$item}</a> <br />";
}[/code]

As you can see, {$item} is some variable and also $team but obviously this doesn't work, I just get a same error as before when I goto that page but I don't know how to get {$item} to work.

I tried this:

[code]{
?><a href="http://www.mysite.com/galleryfind.php?team=<?=$team?>&subject=2006&game=<?={$item}?>"><?={$item}?></a> <br /><?php
}[/code]

But can't seem to get it to work at all. :(

[Orio]

Try:

[code]<?php

echo "<a href=\"http://www.mysite.com/galleryfind.php?team=".urlencode($team)."&subject=2006&game=".urlencode($item)."\">".$item."</a><br />";

?>[/code]

Orio.

[Mutley]

Yep, sorted that. Now finally, one more problem. This doesn't make sense:

[code]$team = $_GET['team'];
$game = $_GET['game'];

echo $team;
echo $game;[/code]

For some reason, if I do ?team=1&game=test ...it doesn't show the game? Why? It just doesn't seem to recognise it, so I can't use it when doing URLs further down:
$thumbnail_folder = "./gallery/images/".urlencode($team)."/2006/".urlencode($game)."/thumbs";

It just loads as gallery/images/1/2006//thumbs  ???

Thanks alot Orio.

[Orio]

Use urlencode when you are making urls with get variables.
But that's a bit weird...
Try:
$thumbnail_folder = "./gallery/images/".stripslashes($team)."/2006/".stripslashes($game)."/thumbs";

Orio.

[Mutley]

Nope, won't work, it won't find the "game" variable, if I echo it nothing appears. Heres the whole file:

If I goto ?team=1&game=test

It will load the team variable but not game.

[Orio]

Try changing $_GET['game'] with $HTTP_GET_VARS['game']
$_GET is only supported from php4.1 or greater.

(run phpversion() to know your php version)

Orio.

[Mutley]

Same problem, $team works but the $game variable doesn't?  ??? It makes no sense.

[Orio]

I have no idea...
If game is a number it does work?
If you switch the places so it'll become "?game=test&team=1" will game pass and team won't?

Orio.

[Mutley]

Even if switched, the $game variable doesn't work, lol. It is confusing the hell out of me, can you try it?

[Orio]

This:
[code]<?
$build = false;
if(isset($HTTP_GET_VARS["b"]) || isset($HTTP_GET_VARS["build"]))
   $build = true;

$image = "";   
if(isset($HTTP_GET_VARS["image"]))
   $image = $HTTP_GET_VARS["image"];

$team = $_GET['team'];
$game = $_GET['game'];
//$match = $_GET['match'];
//echo $match;
echo $team."<br>";
echo $game;

?>[/code]

Gives me the output as it should be... See for yourself:
http://www.oriosriddle.com/test.php?team=1&game=test (EDIT- deleted test.php)

Orio.

[Mutley]

Fixed it, damn that was annoying.

I included it but forgot to carry the variable. So it couldn't find it.

Thanks so much Orio. Means alot.

[Orio]

lol

No problem at all :)

Orio.

[karthikeyan_coder]

hmm.. try to change the name "game" to "Kame" and check it for a while... just for debugging process...
