Including with full URL

Ole_Bj__rn

I'm using a header on my pages and do that using the include function. This header-file is in my rootfolder and what makes the including difficult is when including it from a subfolder. The inclusion works fine but when I try to state a variable in the mainscript (in subfolder) it just won't work!

The included script doesn't find the variable at all! As long as I include without using URL in a script in the rootfolder it is picked up. But, even from a file in the rootfolder, when using full URL for inclusion, the variable given in the mainscript seems to be invisible for the header script.

How can I make it "visible"? Any ideas?

well... i show u the example...

a.php

<?php
include('c.php');
echo $fruit; // will show apple
?>

b.php

<?php
include('http://localhost/c.php');
echo $fruit; // not work..
?>

c.php

<?php
$fruit = 'apple';
echo 'PHP';
?>

this is because include('http://localhost/c.php') will simply get the output of c.php

in this case, b.php will only get PHP displayed on the page.

Why is that?

And more inportant: how can I get around this? I need the variable in the c script to be availible for the b script (to clean up the header so it won't display some content that just take up space for the paricular page. I use an if function to determine wether or wether not to display the content based on the variable being true or false)!...

Are there ev. any other ways to do this??😕

use this

include('c.php');

no need to include the [url]http://[/url]

You see, there's the problem; Don't I have to add full URL or ../ to point to the next higher folder (rootfolder)? Here's the thing:

My forum is under localhost.no/forum and my header file (included on all of the sites on the domain) is in the rootfolder; localhost.no. (I suppose most of the advanced php builders knows phpBB 😉 , When, then adding an including function in overall_header.tpl for the forum I would have to point to either ../header.php or http://www.localhost.no/header.php wouldn't I?

And there we are... again! 🙂

My pages are in 795px width with a 150px wide menu on left side. This menu is located in header.php and when adding the header to the forum, I need full width (795px) for it to be tidy enough. The forum gets far to messy on 545px width!!! The menu is inside an if function determining if $nomenu is true or false. Standard is false in the general config file.

I want a way to tell header.php to turn off the menus.

from php manual

<?php

/* This example assumes that [url]www.example.com[/url] is configured to parse .php *
 * files and not .txt files. Also, 'Works' here means that the variables *
 * $foo and $bar are available within the included file.                 */

// Won't work; file.txt wasn't handled by [url]www.example.com[/url] as PHP
include 'http://www.example.com/file.txt?foo=1&bar=2';

// Won't work; looks for a file named 'file.php?foo=1&bar=2' on the
// local filesystem.
include 'file.php?foo=1&bar=2';

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

$foo = 1;
$bar = 2;
include 'file.txt';  // Works.
include 'file.php';  // Works.

?>
