using querystring with require()

[Microbe]

Hey there,

It seems you can't do something like

require("myfile.php?action=edit");

PHP looks for the file name literally and won't find the file "myfile.php?action=edit"

Does anyone know of a way to pass a parameter using require()?

Thanks in advance.

you just tell php what protocol you want to use.

require("[red][URL unfurl="true"]http://mydomain.com/[/URL][/red]myfile.php?action=edit");

remember a query string is a web server thing. but note that you will receive the value of the executed code when called across a webserver connection.

however you can use other methods too because required files share the same scope as the functions or methods that require them.

so if you set $action = 'red'; the line before the require, the variable $action will be available to the script in myfile.php. and to make the variable available to any function within myfile.php you would, as normal, use the global keyword.

You can also use fopen();

Thanks for the suggestions.

fopen isn't available on the server.

Also the server doesn't allow using a link to http://

But I can't believe I didn't think of the obvious method of a global variable.

Appreciate your help
