Including PHP arguments in... PHP Argument

[IWP506]

I know the subject is a bit confusing, but I really need to know if
this is possible.

I've got a php page. Let's call that a.php In a.php, I make a call to
a webpage (b.php), with some arguments
(http://domain.com/b.php?abcd=1234&efgh=5678).

Can I do something like this:

http://domain.com/a.php?argument='abcd=1234&efgh=5678', then from a.php
use $_GET['argument'] to use in the creation of the URL to call b.php?

In other words, I want to include a php argument in a php argument.

Is this possible?

I'd prefer not to use seperate variables (i.e.
http://domain.com/a.php?abcd=1234&efgh=5678) to forward it to b.php,
but if it's not possible, I guess I'll have to.

Thanks,

What you are trying to do is called 'indirection' in other languages

i.e.

$varb='$a=20';
execute $varb;
echo $a;

Result in '20' showing on the screen

However I do not have enough knowledge to know if it is possible in php to
do this.

Sorry - googlin for 'php' and 'indirection' is throwing up a blank...

it might be called somthing else in PHP.

try using urlencode() function on the second url. look it up on the
php manual.

ex:
$argument = urlencode(abcd=$_GET['abcd']&efgh=$_GET['efgh']);

then pass it to the second url

http://domain.com/a.php?argument=$argument

however you have to split the argument parameter to get the data.

have used this before, got not much idea on its complications though.

OK, you answered half my question (thanks for the quick response),

but now does anybody know if you can do something like
http://www.domain.com/a.php?arg='$a=32&b=63'

Yes. In scripts linking to a.php, you can write:

$link = 'http://domain.com/a.php?argument=' .
urlencode('abcd=1234&efgh=5678');
echo "<a href='$link'>Click here for a.php...</a>";

Then in a.php, you can write, for example:

$b = file_get_contents('http://domain.com/b.php?' .
urldecode($_GET['argument']));

www.php.net/rawurlencode

I suppose the real files do not belong to the same website, otherwise it
wouldn't make much sense to use HTTP to access a file that is reachable
through the file system.
