Include files

[edwardp]

I am trying to pass data into a php include file. when i get to that part of the site, the data isn't passed but when i right-click -> properties of the page the address is like:

http://localhost/buyvehicle/main.php?model=CK&next=Next&submitted=true&range=Tracker%3C%2Ftd

Why am i getting the weord string of characters at the end? why are they getting put there?

I am calling the include file thus:

   include('reviewtrackeroptions.php.inc?'.$options);

where $options is a stringof options like 'option1=val1&option2=val2......'

Any ideas??

thanx

To pass variables into an include file, simply have the variable exist in scope before the include.
Do not use the query string.

How do you mean? globalise the variables?
