Problem parsing variables in php include Please help

[Fallen_angel]

Hi ,

 

I am hopign someon can help me out here

 

I am trying to use the following include

 

include "./file.php?foo=var1&bar=var2" ;

 

However its not working because the server is obiously looking for a file called "file.php?id=var1&bar=var2"  not just file.php then parsing the variables to it. I have read a few peoples sugestions in the includes manual liek settign the variable outside of the include and then passing it into the include itself ie

 

$vars= '?foo=var1&bar=var2' ; 

 

include './file.php$vars ; :

 

but that did what i thought it would and just spat back the same error. I am sure it's the variable thats causign the issue because when i take it away the include works  however this makes it so that my script doesn't work properly without manually setting the variable 

 

Thanx to anyone that can help out

Try this:

 

$foo=$var1;
$bar=$var2;
include "./file.php";

 

$foo and $bar will be available inside file.php

This is the example your looking for:

 

<?php

/* This example assumes that www.example.com is configured to parse .php
* files and not .txt files. Also, 'Works' here means that the variables
* $foo and $bar are available within the included file. */

// Won't work; file.txt wasn't handled by www.example.com as PHP
include 'http://www.example.com/file.txt?foo=1&bar=2';

// Won't work; looks for a file named 'file.php?foo=1&bar=2' on the
// local filesystem.
include 'file.php?foo=1&bar=2';

// Works.
include 'http://www.example.com/file.php?foo=1&bar=2';

$foo = 1;
$bar = 2;
include 'file.txt';  // Works.
include 'file.php';  // Works.

?>

 

If your going to include a file, with ?foo=1&bar=2, you need to use an absolute path.

Thankyou both very much , thats is exactly what i was tryign to go through but it wasn't workign for me however yes the full path was working but not apropriate for the situation this script is setup in unfortunatly.

 

I have ended up goign with

 

$_GET['id]=foo ;

include "file.php" ;

 

then on the other page i simply pulled the get vairable out and it works wonderfully

 

thankyou both so so much again
