Trouble: Form Variables

[Anon]

My problem is a little obscure, so I didn't really know what exactly to search for.

Anyway, I have written up a template based site, pretty simple. The template files are included, when called, in the central script. The template files, in order to display the different content pages, call functions that display what is needed.

A problem I have found with this is that when I use a form to pass variables on to do something, even just to display it on the ACTION (something like 'script.php?skin=Askin&go=Ainc') page, it won't display anything.

I realize this is probably because it is not an arguement used by the function, but it isn't something which I should be forced to add to the the function's arguments.

Am I missing something? Is there a better way to go about doing this all together?

Thanks,
Cambrian

You have code like this?

function dosomething($param1, $param2)
{
global $skin, $go;
// do something with $skin and $go
}

Basically, what I've have is:
function dosomething($go)
{
include($go . inc);
}

the $skin variable is used in an if-else which decides the template to use.

On the template, I call using:
dosomething($go);
The $go being in the address bar.

I think this might help u:

<?
call_fun($go);
function call_fun($go)
{
//One dot operator for concatenation

//the other for extension

include ($go.".inc");
}
?>

I figured out how to do it. Felt stupid when I found out how easy it was, and that I actually knew the answer after I found it.

Anyway, thanks for the help, and Preetha, did you see the initial question? But thanks anyway.
