PHP5 file variables problem (include)

[Asia_Expat]

I'm trying to migrate my site to PHP5 but I have an issue with an include.

<?php include("http://www.example.com/forum/ssi.php?a=active");?>

It stopped functioning and give me the following error...

Warning: include() [function.include]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /homepages/24/d123456789/htdocs/mydomain/index.php

I tried to fix it with this but no joy...

<?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/forum/ssi.php?a=active");?>

<?php include("http://www.example.com/forum/ssi.php?a=active");?>

I didn't know you can include a file with all its parameters.

Something like this looks more natural :)
<?php include("../forum/ssi.php);?>

Check the relative path and adjust it. ;)

The relative path is correct but still no joy.

It might be the following directive in the PHP.ini file:

allow_url_include Off

Can you turn that on?

I'll check that shortly but is it true that using the full http path sucks resources?
