open or output the script with arguments

[bobo]

Hello,
How can I output the file with arguments... i.e
I have a file called first.php
and i have a file called second.php
what I want to do is output the first.php, but with arguments...
something like this
first.php?id=1

and in the first.php I check the id... and run the script depending on
the id... so... if id is 1... it outputs... i.e. 'first test', and if
id is 2, it outputs 'second test'

so... what I want to do is...
output first.php?id=1
and to get -first test
and if I output first.php?id=2
to get -second test

any ideas?

thx

maybe I wasn't clear... I did that in the file second.php... and it
works... when I link to it... but what I want to do is to output the
second.php from first.php... and to execute the second.php while
outputing it

thx

You don't. $_GET variables are available in the included script:
URL: first.php?id=2
first.php
<?php
include 'second.php';
?>
second.php
<?php
echo $_GET['id'];//outputs '2'
?>

Now, if you need the _change_ the GET variable in between, there is
something wrong with the logic, but we can work around that:

URL: first.php?id=2
first.php
<?php
$id = 3;
include 'second.php';
?>
second.php
<?php
$id = isset($id) ? $id : $_GET['id'];
echo $id;//outputs '3'
?>

yes... that's what I'm doing now... to set the value for the variable
and then include the second file... but, I was wondering if I could do
a function like include, but add argument to the second file...

something like this

first.php
include("second.php?id=1")

second.php
do whatever, with the id value

so... what I want is not to set the value before... but... to send the
value to the file... something like you use when linking... i.e.
<a href='second.php?id=1'>
but... without the link... something like include

is that possible?

You can`t send the GET var this way, but the GET var sent to the first.php
will also be accessable in all included/required files.

Offcourse, you could include by HTTP instead of the FILE system, and give
GET variables. This has all sorts of drawbacks, and I wouldn't recommend
it.

Is there any reason that this:
<?php
include('http://www.example.com/foo.php?id=1');
?>
.... is easier for you then:
<?php
$id=1;
include('foo.php');
?>

I'd opt for the second option every time.
If you're worried about variables in global scope:
first.php
<?php
function second_include($args){
extract($args);
include('second.php');
}
second_include(array('foo' ='bar'));
?>
second.php
<?php echo $foo; ?>

No, you're not loading a URL, you're reading a file.

You question is not wrong, you are just thinking about it the wrong
way.

In first.php :-

include("second.php");
second_function($_GET['id']);
second.php will then look like this :-

<?php

function second_function($id) {
.....
do_something_with_id;
.....
}
Rob.
