I have a main.php file that calls a php navigation menu.
I want to pass the menu file a parameter to tell it which menu to
display.
Inside the main.php I have :
include "/home/ottadca1/public_html/includes/leftnav.php?men uid=dave";
But the error is :
Warning:
main(/home/ottadca1/public_html/includes/leftnav.php?men uid=dave)
[function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in
/home/ottadca1/public_html/1menu.php on line 117
Warning: main() [function.includ e]: Failed opening
'/home/ottadca1/public_html/includes/leftnav.php?men uid=dave' for
inclusion (include_path=' .:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in
/home/ottadca1/public_html/1menu.php on line 117
However - if use the exact same line without passing a parameter it
works fine.
This works : include "/home/ottadca1/public_html/includes/leftnav.php";
I don't understand. I've used this technique in the past.
Is there some sort of php configuration I am missing ???
THANKS! 9 2189

You can't do that. "?" is for URLs, but you're specifying a filename. With the
"?", you're specifying a filename that doesn't exist.
If you want to pass variables into the include file, just set them before you
do the include, they'll be visible in the include file. (Or pass them as
parameters to whatever functions you define in the include file).

ah ha. I know - In the past I have passed it as a parameter like this :
include "http://www.www.com/file.php?menu=d avid"
This has worked.

You mean like this ?
<?php
echo "<form><inp ut type="hidden" name=menuid" value="david"></form>";
include file.php
?>
I thought I did this - and it did not work.
In the php include I used :
$menuid = $_GET['menuid']
Thanks for replying.

Yes, but its very dangerous unless you really, really know what you're
doing.

No - like
$GLOBALS['menuid']='david';
include ('file.php');

You don't even need to use globals.
Just
$menuid = 'david';
and in the include file you can use
if ($menuid == 'david') ...
An include acts just like if you cut/paste the code from the included
file in place of the 'include' statement.

Yeah!!
Big thanks to Jerry and Colin. I have successfully impltmented your
solution.
BTW - what is the risk passing the variable to the file via and httP
request ?
The include file has nothing to execute.
thanks again!

Well, it can easily be changed by the user - being a parameter to the
URL. And if you use:
include ('http://...);
You're making another call to the server, getting it to access and parse
the page and return the results to your current page. If it's a remote
system, you'll probably have to do that. But it's a waste to be doing
it to your local system. Just including the file with:
include ('/path/to/file...');
is much more efficient. Additionally, you get the unparsed page (i.e.
PHP code) which can be executed here, instead of the html output by the
server in the previous include.
And btw - when you do use the first include, you have to make sure you
remove out all of the extra tags, such as DOCTYPE, <head>, </body>, etc.
from the included file output to ensure you are sending valid html to
the client.

You seem to be confusing HTTP (or rather CGI) and PHP.
The '?arg=value&arg =value' syntax is part of CGI, and is interpreted by
CGI programs running typically on web browsers. While many CGI
programs are written in PHP, the syntax has nothing to do with PHP: the
program that interprets it might be in Perl, VB, Asp, or other languages.
When you use
include('filena me');
you are staying within PHP, telling it to read its some code from
somewhere else.
If you use
include("http://url");
you are telling your PHP programme to send an HTTP request to that
server, and parse the result as PHP code. The server will send back just
what you would get if specified that URL to your browser - which will
not usually be PHP source.
