Trouble with an include...

[DarkAssassin]

I own a gaming site, and want some extra user interaction, so I thought of an idea, to intergrate my site with a forum, I want to be able to include forum pages but I can't figure out how, I'm pretty new to PHP too...

on my index.php page, I have:
<?php if($page == "") { include "news/news.txt"; } else { include "$page"; } ?>

if I wanted to include a page's URL that is:
http://www.yoursite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1

and your current URL was:
http://www.yoursite.com/index.php

how would I do that?
Thanks

Depending on your setup, I think you can include() remote files -- check the manual to be sure.

It'd be

include "http://www.yoursite.com/whatever.php?somevar=1";
