Ashley,
You don't really need to pass the values in your include.
All that include does is insert the file inine, as if it was written there.
So, leaving out the table=$table will still result in $table being defined
by the code prior to the include.
Ie.
$table="value or array or whatever"
Include("file that references $table.php");
// $table is still in the global namespace, and the include file can
reference it as normal.
The only way you would need to pass values to the php file, like you did, is
if you were retrieving data from it through
fopen("http://domain.com/variables.php?table=$table",'r');
Include does not pre parse your file.
Hope that helps.
