passing a variable to another script from a script run by cron

[luvalab]

I have cron calling a PHP script every 1/2 hour. How do I call and pass a variable to another PHP script from this first PHP script? Thanks.

You can include it via a URL and send the info via GET, or create a function in the included file to receive the variables, then include that file and fire the function from the calling file:

i.e.:

Original file

<?php
// Do some stuff here

include_once('include_me.php');
doInclude($var1, $var2, $var3);
?>

include_me.php

<?php

function doInclude() {
  $vars = func_get_args();
}

// Do something with the vars....
