Insert variable in "Include"

[jdog5]

Can you insert a variable into an include statement, such as:

<?php include("http://website.com/user/$row_SiteSettings['user_id']/index.php"); ?>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.........

You should be able to, and that should work. If it doesn't, try concatenating the variable onto the string, like so:

<?php include("http://website.com/user/". $row_SiteSettings['user_id'] ."/index.php"); ?>

No, you cant. However, you dont need to, since the variables in scope at that point will be available to the page included.

Well, I want to call a directory based on the user name in the database. Since there are only like 8 options, I want the script to insert the userID into the string, since that is the directory name.

<?php include("http://website.com/user/$variable/index.php"); ?>

variable is already set depending on ID pulled from database. Just want to insert it in the Include command. How can I accomplish this?

Oh, but this is different, sorry about that.

What you're doing looks okay, so how does it not work?
