include another php doc?

[gadget2020]

Anyone tell me the order things are done in if I use include(file.php?option=1) ?

ie

will it come to the include, send for the PHP file, resolve it and insert the html code as the 'include'

or

send for the PHP file, include the scripting of the php file,then resolve the php into html.
(If it's this one, then I don't need to send the PHP any variables and I can use the same definitions...)

If you do

include('file.php?option=1');

It will search the include path for a file named (literally) "file.php?option=1". Most likely it will fail and throw a warning.

If you do

$option = 1;
include('file.php');

It will look for a file called "file.php" in the include path, and if found will parse the code in the file (as php if <?php [...] ?> is used). The included file will see $option as having the value of 1.

If you do

include('http://www.mywebserver.com/file.php?option=1');

Then the web server will first execute the php file, then the results (html) will be included in the script which did the including.

Oh yeah, and this is all explained in the manual.
