get variable from location

[malder]

I would like to have a URL on a page refer to another file for part of the src, like this:

src="http://www.example.com/getlisting?ID<?php

 $varfile = "script/variables.cfg";

         *** code that gets xvarible from a config text file. ***

      print("xvariable ");
?>"

The part I need help with it that which actually gets the right variable out of "script/variables.cfg"

I am new to PHP, so please excuse my ignorance. Thanks for the help.

.
.

require_once(/full_path_to_file/variables.cfg);
//now u have $xvariable from this file
//so link is simple
$src="http://www.example.com/getlisting?ID=".$xvariable;

echo $src;
?>

the code in variables.cfg will be something like

variablex = "stringone"
variabley = "stringtwo"
variablez = "string3"
