GET variables not working when I include the file.

[JJBlaha]

The problem is this.

 

index.php is this

 

<? include('main/index.php'); ?>

 

main/index.php is this

 

$content = $_GET['content'];
echo "con is $content";

 

when i put in index.php?content=blahblah

 

It echos 'con is', but if i change index.php to what main/index.php is, it con is blahblah.  Anyone know why?

This should work.

 

monk.e.boy

[monk.e.boy]

Actually, try putting:

 

print_r( $_GET );

 

in both files.

 

monk.e.boy

If i put it in main/index.php (the inlcuded one) I get

 

Array ( ) 1

 

If i put it in index.php i get

 

Array ( [content] => blahblah )

 

[JJBlaha]

Possibly important piece of information: index.php is on a subdomain, like sub.domain.com, and is including the file www.domain.com/main/index.php

 

I know the file is being included, because it outputs con is, but the variable is not working.

have you tried outputting the variable straight from the URL. Is it actually posting? Just examine it i'm sure it'll be something simple. If you see some contents of the included file then it doesn't matter about being on a subdomain etc. Just look at the get method and make sure it's back to itself.

 

<?php ECHO "$_GET['content']"; ?>

If i put

 

<?php echo $_GET['content']; ?>

 

in the included file nothing shows, but if it put it in the original file it does show.  It seems it matters that it is included for some reason.

[JJBlaha]

The get variables are undefined if they are in the included file on the main site (www.domain.com/main/index.php) but they work perfectly on the regular subdomain file (sub.domain.com/index.php).  The code used in every case was the exact same, the only difference is that it is either included or is not.

so you're saying the included file doesn't get the $_GET variables? something like this?...

 

page1.php

<?php
include('page2.php');
?>

 

page2.php

<?php
echo $_GET['test'];
?>

 

a call to page1.php?test=test doesn't do anything?

 

sounds like a server problem....

[JJBlaha]

page1.php

<?php

include('page2.php');

?>

 

page2.php

<?php

echo "Test is ";

echo $_GET['test'];

?>

 

and a call to page1.php?test=test outputs 'Test is'

realllly weird problem, what version of php are you using? Really starting to sound like a server problem.

[JJBlaha]

Using PHP Version 4.4.4

Your original code works fine for me. try using $_REQUEST instead of $_GET.

Sorry, I made a mistake in what I was saying earlier, the correct representation of my problem is as follows.

 

sub.domain.com/page1.php

<?php

include('http://www.domain.com/main/page2.php');

?>

 

www.domain.com/main/page2.php

<?php

echo "Test is ";

echo $_GET['test'];

?>

 

http://sub.domain.com/page1.php?test=test returns

Test is

[JJBlaha]

And if i change page1.php to

 

sub.domain.com/page1.php

<?php

echo "Test is ";

echo $_GET['test'];

?>

 

http://sub.domain.com/page1.php?test=test returns

Test is test

you cant include pages via URLs like that.... do local file paths, not URLs
