[RESOLVED] PHP include question

[rvpals]

Hi,

I have a php script call showinfo.php, which takes a GET parameter id to display some information about a product. For example. I would use this url to get product information about product 6: showinfo.php?id=6

Why can't I use this inside another PHP file to include the content of showinfo.php?id=6.

For example:
<?php
echo "Here is our hottest product:";
echo "<HR>";

include 'showinfo.php?id='.$productid;

?>

include 'showinfo.php?id='.$productid;

?>

Because things don't work that way.

<?php
echo "Here is our hottest product:";
echo "<HR>";

$_GET['id'] = $productid;

include 'showinfo.php';

?>
