require() and $_GET

lsuperguy

I'm trying to pass some variables to another script and have it return to strings . Right now, I have it set as a reture and variable passing via $GET:
"require($SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/script.php?v1=$v2&v2=$v2&v3=$v3");

when the parent script runs I get this error: Warning: main(/home/httpd/html/newFrameShop/htdocs/custom_frame.php?img_pic=http://artfinale.com/store/img/2400-3859-EU-fs.jpg&hgt=36.00&wdt=24.00&prc=10.59&frame=596&mat1=&mat1size=&mat2=&mat3=): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/httpd/html/newFrameShop/htdocs/frame_art_main.php on line 92

and then a fatal error, becuase the required script didn't run.

Is there a problem requiring scripts and passing them variables? becuase when I don't pass them, it finds the script.

What is the best way to do this if I can't go this route?

Thanks.

you cannot pass GET vars to require() unless the argument is a full URL. you are getting the error becuase PHP is looking for an exact file called "script.php?v1=$v2&v2=$v2&v3=$v3" which of course does not exist. you can either reformat your input to require() as a full valid URL or what would much simpler is to not bother with GET vars at all and do this:

$v1 = 'v1';
$v2 = 'v2';
$v3 = 'v3';
require($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/script.php');

script.php will inheirit the variable scope of the calling script.

so when I want the variables that the required script worked on, or created, I just access them like the top level script created them?

ie. How would I access the changed v1?

just print($v1)?
