[SOLVED] Wierd problem with includes

[tamumech]

Hi php freaks.

 

I am having a problem with passing values to my include files.

 

Here's the deal.  In one of my files I might write: (saving this as http://www.mysite.com/file.php)

 

$variable = 'value';
include("http://www.mysite.com/include.php");

 

Where include.php is:

 

echo "$variable";

 

And everything would work fine.

However, if include.php was saved in a different location such as: http://www.mysite.com/subdirectory/include.php, nothing would echo.  I would write:

 

$variable = 'value';
include("http://www.mysite.com/subdirectory/include.php");

 

I don't understand this because I am writing out the full URL.

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

Includes should be called via paths not urls. When called via a url the php is processed in a seperate process and the output is then included.

Use relative paths. You can't include PHP remotely from another server....not the way you're doing it, anyway.

Ok, got it.  SOLVED.
