Getting url parameters from an included page

[spykadesign]

im not sure if its possible but..

how would i get the url variables from an page included, maybe this will explain it better.

if i put this in my foo.php page:

<?
include("page.php?item=bar");
?>

could i get the value of "item" in page.php by using:
$citem = $_GET['item'];

or whatever or is there something else i need to do?

you can't include a page like that but you could set the variable and have it available to the included code

maybe this will explain it better

<?
$citem = 'bar';
include("page.php");
?>
