Include function

[thomiet]

Hey,

I want to include the following file: "news.php?action=showcat&catid=1" in a php file, but when i try to use this function (<?php include('Nieuws/news.php?action=showcat&catid=1');?>), I get an error message.

There seems to be a problem with the "?action=showcat&catid=1'" part.

Is there another solution to include the file?
Thanks a lot

you can't (AFAIK) pass anything on the query string when using include(). however you can simply do:

$action = 'showcat';
$catid = '1';
include('news.php');

then in "news.php" you may have to adjust how you access $action and $catid. if you have register_globals ON and you are simply accessing them as globals then you don't have to change anything.

or u can use complete url instead like

include("http://domainname/'Nieuws/news.php?action=showcat&catid=1");

I would recommend devinemke's way coz this kind of include doesnt really integrate into your file..

Good Luck
