include and variables

[ukndoit]

is it possible for something like this to work:

include "somefile.php?var1=no&var2=yes&othervar=nothing";

If not, how can I do that?
Thanks.

hi!
if you include a file your vars are known in the included file

$var1 = "no";
$var2 = "yes"
$othervar = "nothing";
include ("somefile.php");

but if the somefile.php is expecting variables passed as a GET request, they won't be there, right?

Thanks.

u can toggle like this in somefile.php

if (isset($_GET["var1"])){
 $v1 = $_GET["var1"];
} else {
 $v1 = $var1;
}

So put them there

$_GET['var1'] = "no";
$_GET['var2'] = "yes"
$_GET['othervar'] = "nothing";
include ("somefile.php");

and ask yourself why you're using http GET in somefile.php in the first place if you're just including the file in another.
