problems with includes and passing parms

[Anon]

This works:
@include('/home/web/scripts/adbanner.php3');

This doesn't:
@include('/home/web/scripts/adbanner.php3?edition=xroadscod')

The later worked when I ran the script on a previous server. So I suspect there's a php configuration option that's causing the problems. That or something changed in the latest version of php.

Don't suppose anyone has any ideas of what the problem could be?

you should not pass any parameters to the script when you include it.
Include makes the 'included' file part of the script, so all variables that exist in the main script are automatically available in the included script.

if you do an http include, the script will be executed/translated by the server you're requesting it from before becoming part of your script. Therefore to have the script you are requesting use parameters you know, you have to pass them in as part of the http request to that server.
