include file & query string

[lordgreg]

if i include a php file with the query string, like this:

include "http://localhost/dp/src/addon_last_news.php?num=10";

it won't work.

if i include it like this:

include "http://localhost/dp/src/addon_last_news.php";

it works

if i include it like this:

include "./src/addon_last_news.php?num=10"

it also doesn't work..

try putting brackets around it..

include ("http://localhost/dp/src/addon_last_news.php?num=10");

doesn't work dude... i think that's not the problem..

No, cause the way yo want to do it, the web server doesnt have access to the file, or knows where it is, if you use a url

you will need to do somthing like this

example:

include ("var/apache/www/dp/src/addon_last_news.php");

read this:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.directives.php#ini.include-path

yea.. well.... but what if i want to use it with query_strings? will that work too?

i don't think you can use a query string on an included file. anyway why would you need to?

instead of:
include ('/path/to/file.php?var=whatever');

just do:
$var = 'whatever';
include ('/path/to/file.php');

the included file will inheirit the variable scope.

so why won't that work:

// Works.
include 'http://www.example.com/file.php?foo=1&bar=2';
