is the file localhost? because the file being localhost or remote makes a huge
difference. lets assume its localhost
incdex.php
<?php
$table = 'test';
include_once("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/include/variables.php");
?>
now, variables.php will NOT return variables, thats not what is for. it just includes
the code, thats it.
variables.php
<?php
if ($table == 'test')
echo "do something...";
else
echo "do something else...";
?>
there you. include does NOT return variables. imagine it like this, imagine you opened
variables.php in your editor, and cut and paste all that code right exactly where
include_once(...) was, thats what php is doing.
now
include_once("http://somedomain.com/variables.php");
is very very different, this will send and HTTP request for the page, local variables
will not be seen by variables.php any variables set in variables.php will not be
returened either.
include_once("http://somedomain.com/variables.php?table=test");
this will send the variable table to variables.php but variables.php will still not be
able to return anything. using include_once(..) this way has limited usfullness. not
saying its not usfull, just saying its limited.

Actually, the the I'm trying to include has several segments in it, which
depend on which table was just queries. It basically looks like this:
if (table_1) {
return this set of variables
} elseif (table_2) {
return this other set
} elseif (table_3) {
return these ones
} else {
echo "you bonehead, you didn't include a table!";
}
You're saying, if I just include 'variables.inc', it will know what $table
is (from the main script) and would run through that routine fine? Actually, it
makes sense, all it does is include it as if I wrote it in the main script.
Okay, so how can I make it so I only get the variables returned, as opposed to
it including the whole bit in the main script? (kinda like the way a function()
with a return $var in it would work.)
