[SOLVED] Can I Include a file with a variable?

[suttercain]

I have an include file which has an array an it is assigned a variable. I include the file

 include ('vehicle_array');

 

That file contains this array

<?php
$makes = array('ACUR'=>'ACURA', 
		   'ALP'=>'ALPINA', 
		   'ASMA'=>'ASTON MARTIN LAGONDA',
		   'AUDI'=>'AUDI',
		   'BAF'=>'FORD BAF CNG',
		   'BAYT'=>'GENERAL MOTORS BAYTECH CNG',
		   'BENT'=>'BENTLY',
		   'BMW'=>'BMW',
		   'BUIC'=>'BUICK',
		   'CAD'=>'CADILLAC',
		   'CHEV'=>'CHEVROLET',
		   'CHRS'=>'CHRYSLER',
		   'CUMM'=>'CUMMINS',
		   'DODG'=>'DODGE',
		   'FERI'=>'FERARAI',
		   'FORD'=>'FORD',
		   'GMC'=>'GMC',
		   'HOND'=>'HONDA',
		   'HUMM'=>'HUMMER',
		   'HYND'=>'HYUNDAI',
		   'INFI'=>'INFINITI',
		   'ISUZ'=>'ISUZU',
		   'JAG'=>'JAGUAR',
		   'JEEP'=>'JEEP',
		   'KI'=>'KIA',
		   'LAMB'=>'LABORGHINI',
		   'LAND'=>'LAND ROVER',
		   'LEXS'=>'LEXUS',
		   'LINC'=>'LINCOLN',
		   'LOTU'=>'LOTUS',
		   'MASE'=>'MASERATI',
		   'MAZD'=>'MAZDA',
		   'MBZ'=>'MERCEDES BENZ',
		   'MINI'=>'MINI',
		   'MITS'=>'MITSUBISHI',
		   'MORG'=>'MORGAN',
		   'MRCY'=>'MERCURY',
		   'NISS'=>'NISSAN',
		   'PONT'=>'PONTIAC',
		   'PORS'=>'PORSCHE',
		   'RPP'=>'ROUSCH',
		   'RR'=>'ROLLS ROYCE',
		   'SAAB'=>'SAAB',
		   'SALE'=>'SALEEN',
		   'SATU'=>'SATURN',
		   'SHLB'=>'SHELBY',
		   'SUBA'=>'SUBARU',
		   'SUZU'=>'SUZUKI',
		   'TOTA'=>'TOYOTA',
		   'VOLK'=>'VOLKSWAGEN',
		   'VOLV'=>'VOLVO',
		   );

 

That array was in the original .php file, which works fine when it's there. But when I replace it with the include instead it doesn't show up.

 

What am I doing incorrect?

 

Thank you.

you have to name the file with .php and call it like:

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

and filename.php contains your array:

<?php
$makes = array('ACUR'=>'ACURA', 
		   'ALP'=>'ALPINA', 
		   'ASMA'=>'ASTON MARTIN LAGONDA',
		   'AUDI'=>'AUDI',
		   'BAF'=>'FORD BAF CNG',
		   'BAYT'=>'GENERAL MOTORS BAYTECH CNG',
		   'BENT'=>'BENTLY',
		   'BMW'=>'BMW',
		   'BUIC'=>'BUICK',
		   'CAD'=>'CADILLAC',
		   'CHEV'=>'CHEVROLET',
		   'CHRS'=>'CHRYSLER',
		   'CUMM'=>'CUMMINS',
		   'DODG'=>'DODGE',
		   'FERI'=>'FERARAI',
		   'FORD'=>'FORD',
		   'GMC'=>'GMC',
		   'HOND'=>'HONDA',
		   'HUMM'=>'HUMMER',
		   'HYND'=>'HYUNDAI',
		   'INFI'=>'INFINITI',
		   'ISUZ'=>'ISUZU',
		   'JAG'=>'JAGUAR',
		   'JEEP'=>'JEEP',
		   'KI'=>'KIA',
		   'LAMB'=>'LABORGHINI',
		   'LAND'=>'LAND ROVER',
		   'LEXS'=>'LEXUS',
		   'LINC'=>'LINCOLN',
		   'LOTU'=>'LOTUS',
		   'MASE'=>'MASERATI',
		   'MAZD'=>'MAZDA',
		   'MBZ'=>'MERCEDES BENZ',
		   'MINI'=>'MINI',
		   'MITS'=>'MITSUBISHI',
		   'MORG'=>'MORGAN',
		   'MRCY'=>'MERCURY',
		   'NISS'=>'NISSAN',
		   'PONT'=>'PONTIAC',
		   'PORS'=>'PORSCHE',
		   'RPP'=>'ROUSCH',
		   'RR'=>'ROLLS ROYCE',
		   'SAAB'=>'SAAB',
		   'SALE'=>'SALEEN',
		   'SATU'=>'SATURN',
		   'SHLB'=>'SHELBY',
		   'SUBA'=>'SUBARU',
		   'SUZU'=>'SUZUKI',
		   'TOTA'=>'TOYOTA',
		   'VOLK'=>'VOLKSWAGEN',
		   'VOLV'=>'VOLVO',
		   );
?>
