Problem with Includes

[englishtom]

Hi everyone,

I posted this over at phpfreaks, I dont know if any of you are members there too but I thought Id post it here as well as Im in a bit of a hurry to get it solved!

Im having a problem with using include to call a form. The way it is suppost to work is the parent page calls the correct include page based on entries in a database so the layout of a page is easilly customisable, the problem Im having is that one of the pages Im trying to include is a form which needs data passed to it from the previous page and using $_GET in the included page doesnt try to get from the parent page's url, it tries to get from its own url which is no good as I havent passed the data there!

Iv tried passing the data in a session and passing it in the url to the parent page then defining it as a variable but neither work :S

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Assuming the included file is on the same server, and you're not including it with "http://" or the like...

Any variables in scope when you include the file will be available to the included code, the $GET array included. I don't know what you mean by "it tries to get from its own url". If you try to include a file with request variables tacked on, you should get an error. And even if you're including from within a function, the $GET array will be in scope.

In short, the $_GET array and all variables available to the main file at the point of inclusion will be seen by the included code.

hooray! Thanks Installer, I was using the full http:// to include them, switched over to relative path and all is well =)
