Error on page

Newbie doesn't understand error message

[calvinmicklefinger]

I am working on an include statement, which gave me the following error message ...

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /var/www/html/wrapper.php on line 208

Line 96 of wrapper.php contains ...

<?php
$my_data = explode("/", getenv("REQUEST_URI"));
putenv($PHP_my_var . "=" . $my_data[2]);
?>

and Line 208 of wrapper (the error) contains ...
<?php $include "http://mydomain.com/myphpform.php";?>

The page myphpform.php contains only the following ...

<?php echo 'Should be blank = ' . $uri_array[0];?>
<br>
<?php echo 'Should be a Number = ' . $uri_array[1];?>
<br>
<?php echo 'Should be a word = ' . $uri_array[2];?>
<br>
The file <?php echo $REQUEST_URI;?> was requested
<br>

Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong?

I am new at this also, is there a reason you are trying to make include a variable? If not try this

<?php
$my_data = explode("/", getenv("REQUEST_URI"));
putenv($PHP_my_var . "=" . $my_data[2]);
?>

and Line 208 of wrapper (the error) contains ...
<?php include "http://mydomain.com/myphpform.php";?>

The page myphpform.php contains only the following ...

<?php echo 'Should be blank = ' . $uri_array[0];?>
<br>
<?php echo 'Should be a Number = ' . $uri_array[1];?>
<br>
<?php echo 'Should be a word = ' . $uri_array[2];?>
<br>
The file <?php echo $REQUEST_URI;?> was requested
<br>

Ouch. That was it.

Thanks.

Many thanks. I feel so egg on the face.

I'm really new at this (two days of reading and selecting what I need), but even then I should have learned the difference between a function and a variable.

Again, thanks.

hey no problem, parse errors are the only things I can fix :) glad its working for you now.

Well, it's working to do the include, but now I have the next problem.

The page that is called by the include doesn't contain any data from the array (and I did correct the variable names to be consistent across both pages).

Any ideas?

I'm trying to pass variables in the URL according to the format domain.com/somenumber/someword as in [mydomain.com...]

The two variables are needed in both the wrapper page and the included page.

Get them in the wrapper page, don't in the included page.

pm me with the code for both files and I will see what i can do for you.
