Absolute URI and $_GETS

[cggreer]

Hey guys!

My current project has a default header and footer on each page. The default header is in a file ./includes/default_header.php. It includes the <TITLE></TITLE> tag and I am trying to set it by passing it the title of the page via $_GETS.

Here's my code:

define('IN_MYPROJECT', true);
$MyProj_root_path = './';
$MyProj_page_title = urlencode('Welcome to ProjectXYZ!');

include($MyProj_root_path . 'includes/default_header.php?title=') . $MyProj_page_title);

the define() is used as a flag to prevent outside includes etc.
When the $MyProj_root_path is set to './' I get an error saying the default_header.php file doesn't exist.
If I set the $MyProj_root_path to the absolute URI - 'http://www.domain.com/dir/' it fails to recognise the IN_MYPROJECT variable can doesn't load.

What gives? Any thoughts?

Cheers,

You can't pass a query string when you include a local file. PHP interprets the query string as the rest of the name of the file, and so it fails.

You need to set the appropriate variables before you include the file, like so:

define('IN_MYPROJECT', true);
$MyProj_root_path = './';
$MyProj_page_title = urlencode('Welcome to ProjectXYZ!');

$_GET['title'] = $MyProj_page_title;

include($MyProj_root_path . 'includes/default_header.php');
