Pass variables to an included file?

[dspeer]

How can I do this? I have a URL (index.php?customer=blahblah) that includes another file. How do I get this variable from index.php to the included file?

include() is the equivalent to copying and pasting code from the included file to your current file. In short, you don't need to do anytyhing, it's alreayd there.

Make sure you're using $_GET['varname'] to reference the variable if it's from the query string.

If its in a function, it needs to be passed to the function or declared global $varname;
