PHP include help

Wanna include files with parameters but...

[gutabo]

Hi again!

I would like to know if is there a way to parse some parameters in the include function, something like

$filename="foo";
$fileclass="bar";

include ($filename.".php?id=".$fileclass);

Can this be done? How?

Thanks in advance!

I think it will work just like you have it. Did you try it?

[gutabo]

Yeah, it doesn't work... :(

Dunno why tho. Any suggestions?

That wouldn't work in ASP as the includes are all included before anything in the script is processed, so it wont pick up the variables. Don't know if it works the same in PHP though, will be interested to see the answer.

Check to make sure the variables are set by printing them.

$filename="foo";
$fileclass="bar";
$include = $filename$fileclass
print $include;

If the url looks good, change the last line to:

include ($include);

Also bookmark the PHP [php.net] manual. It's very useful!

It shouldn't work for the reasons olias pointed out. I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do, but you could

a) use the $fileclass in the included file (included file inherit the scope where they're included)
or
b) just before your include, set $id = $fileclass (that won't work if you're retrieving the id var through $_GET[] though)

Hi gutabo,

All variables from your main script are also available to included files. Basically the include() fucntion just "pastes" the specified file into the source code before it gets executed. Therefore they can access the same variables as the main script.

Thanks for the fast, effective replies!

Ok, I found out that it works IF I don't use the "?id=" part...

Any other suggestions?

[gutabo]

Ok, ok, I just actually _processed_ the data from the previous post(my brain's PHP version is old, you know... I must be really tired) so there's no need for the "?id=" part...

THANK YOU. tHi5 BOARD r0xx0rz j00r b0xx0rz.
