Topic: [SOLVED] Get arguments in include function.

[BillyBoB]

I have a site I have been working on for a while now... I recently switched servers for this site only and the includes that have the extra arguments, ex: www.site.com/index.php?arg=anwser, are failing.

Warning:  include_once(./includes/Navigation.php?curpg=Home) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/game/public_html/Home on line 58

Anyone have any ideas?

Of course it fails, you can't pass arguments to an include unless you are calling them via a url. And then they don't execute within the same process.

Can we see how you make this call to include_once?

[BillyBoB]

I don't see how it wouldn't work because it was working fine on my other server.

Code: [Select]

<?php
if($logged==true) {
include_once("./includes/Navigation.php?curpg=Home&lgdusr=true");
}else{
include_once("./includes/Navigation.php?curpg=Home");
}
?>


[premiso]

Code: [Select]

<?php
$_GET['curpg'] = "Home";
   if($logged==true) {
      $_GET['lgdusr'] = true;
   }
      include_once("./includes/Navigation.php");
?>

Will work. If it worked on your other server, they must of allowed it or had a function to parse out the get variables. I have never seen that work for server-side files in my time.

no arguemtn can be passed through include without the full url

include_once("./includes/Navigation.php?arug=foo");

Is your server looking for a file called Navigation.php?arug=foo not a file called Navigation.php and passing the arguments

@premiso:
That will not work because I am sending the argument to the Navigation page. That way it will highlight the correct tab. It is for dynamic navigation.

That is doing the exact thing you were trying to do, it is sending GET variables, using the ? & etc sends the get variables in a regular url.

So if that does not work, maybe your new server as register_globals off and you were accessing the variables not using $_GET?

That is the only explanation I can give. The above works fine with this script:

index.php

Code: [Select]

<?php
include('page.php?id=3&user=jack');
?>

page.php

Code: [Select]

<?php
echo $_GET['id'] . ' is ' . $_GET['user'] . '\'s user id!';
?>

Should print out 4 is jack's user id!  when index.php is called.

Example #3.

premiso your first suggestion worked just took a second to test.

@BillyBoB

maybe you should read the example before you quote it

Code: [Select]


// Won't work; file.txt wasn't handled by www.example.com as PHP
include 'http://www.example.com/file.txt?foo=1&bar=2';

// Won't work; looks for a file named 'file.php?foo=1&bar=2' on the
// local filesystem.
include 'file.php?foo=1&bar=2';

// Works.
include 'http://www.example.com/file.php?foo=1&bar=2';

It says that it won't work!

Moral of the story: You CANNOT send true GET variables to a locally included file because you aren't actually using an HTTP GET request for it, therefore Apache won't parse a request and send any variables to PHP.  Just set the variables before you include the file.
