PHP - include a php file and also send query parameters

Question

I have to show a page from my php script based on certain conditions. I have an if condition and am doing an \"include\" if the condition is satisfied.

if(co         


        

Answer 1

Your question is not very clear, but if you want to include the php file (add the source of that page to yours), you just have to do following :

if(condition){
    $someVar=someValue;
    include "myFile.php";
}

As long as the variable is named $someVar in the myFile.php

Answer 2

You can use $GLOBALS to solve this issue as well.

$myvar = "Hey";

include ("test.php");


echo $GLOBALS["myvar"];

Answer 3

You could do something like this to achieve the effect you are after:

$_GET['id']=$somevar;
include('myFile.php');

However, it sounds like you are using this include like some kind of function call (you mention calling it repeatedly with different arguments).

In this case, why not turn it into a regular function, included once and called multiple times?

Answer 4

Imagine the include as what it is: A copy & paste of the contents of the included PHP file which will then be interpreted. There is no scope change at all, so you can still access $someVar in the included file directly (even though you might consider a class based structure where you pass $someVar as a parameter or refer to a few global variables).

Answer 5

I was in the same situation and I needed to include a page by sending some parameters... But in reality what I wanted to do is to redirect the page... if is the case for you, the code is:

<?php
   header("Location: http://localhost/planner/layout.php?page=dashboard"); 
   exit();
?>

Answer 6

The simplest way to do this is like this

index.php

<?php $active = 'home'; include 'second.php'; ?>

second.php

<?php echo $active; ?>

You can share variables since you are including 2 files by using "include"
