include page and script at the same time

brooksh

I have little knowledge of PHP but here is my problem.

I want to include a page

<?php
include("mypage.php?Name=getUser_Name($config[userid])");
?>

But it doesn't work.

If I just have <?php getUser_Name($config[userid]) ?> it displays the name just fine.

How can I include both so that it displays correctly?

you cant include a page with the query strings on it. you first will have to
include("mypage.php");
and then call the function getUser_Name
when you include a page it will bring the page into the current one so it essentially puts the two files together so whatever variables and functions were in one, are now available in both.

read http://php.net/include/ for more information on how to use the function.

Sorry, I have read through it but still a little confused.

I just want to set a value

MyName = <?php getUser_Name($config[userid]) ?>

And then include a page

include("mypage.php?Name=MyName

How could I do this. I tried defining the value by a javascript but I still run in the same problem.

<?php
$MyName = getUser_Name($config['userid']);
$name = $MyName;
include("mypage.php");
?>

if mypage.php uses $_GET['name'] then you will have to redirect the person to that page, but if you just reference $name in it, the above code is the proper way to do what you are trying to do. query strings are anything after a ? in the url, and any file called by include cannot have any query strings, as it just includes the page.
