[RESOLVED] Passing variables through REQUIRE function?

[Maharg105]

Hi guys,

I currently have a file upload facility for users. Once they complete the form, the information is passed to send.php.

A number of checks (extension, size etc.) are performed on the users files and then various variables are set to denote error codes.

So by the end of the script I will end up with;

$extensioncheck=1;
$codecheck=0;
$sizecheck=1;

I then need to pass these variables back to the form page, so that the appropriate error messages can be displayed.

I tried using

require 'register.php?ext=$extensioncheck&size=$sizecheck&code=$codecheck';

But it would seem that the require function cannot handle variables, as it simply gives me an error message so no such file exists.

I couldn't find any definitive information on passing variables through include or require and wondered if you guys might be able to help.

Thanks, as always,

If you read the PHP manual concerning [man]include[/man], you will find that:

When a file is included, the code it contains inherits the variable scope of the line on which the include occurs. Any variables available at that line in the calling file will be available within the called file, from that point forward. However, all functions and classes defined in the included file have the global scope.

Thanks laserlight, that makes a lot more sense. I've got it all working now. Sometimes, I simply don't look at the simplest answer.

Thanks again 🙂
