Variables lost: include() using full URL

[Anon]

I'm using several nested include files. When I define variables in the global scope, and then include files that try to use those variables I have a problem. If I use a relative filepath like:
include('../file.php')
everything works. But if I use my full URL:
include('http://mydomain.com/file.php')
I no longer have access to the previously defined global variables from the including file.

How can I maintain the use of those variables while using a full URL to include files?

I think the main problem could be is that you're not using absolute resolved paths in the include() statement. Usually to insure no problems in include() and require() you use absolute paths so any file with the statement can find what is defined.

include('/home/user/www/includes/file.php');

Knight,

That was an unbelievably quick response! I'll try it - thanks!!
