Re: [PHP] Passing variables with include()
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 * On 14-01-02 at 13:01 * Imar de Vries said Hi all, Hello! at this moment I am working on a script that calculates standings of our online racing competition. In order to do that, I have to connect to a database on a remote server. But for some reason, i simply do not get the script to work. I use a form in the local script to determine which standings are to be shown, and the value is stored in $serie_id. This is done in the main scope (no function used). $serie_id can be 2, 3 or 4. Then I make an include call to the remote script: include(http://www.someremote.server/calculate_drivers.php;); In that remote script I use $serie_id to make a database query. But so far, the query fails because $serie_id is not known. Are there any known exceptions (f.i. specific server settings) that might explain why the variable is not known on the remote server? Thanks in advance! -- Imar de Vries - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - ICQ 6972439 Are you absolutely certain that the var is being set properly? Try printing it to the screen just before you call the script. - -- Nick Wilson Tel:+45 3325 0688 Fax:+45 3325 0677 Web:www.explodingnet.com -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8QspAHpvrrTa6L5oRAistAKCmkjCwFRXf57JBwRn2gA65vyr6EACgiOqu kmrKG/BaSZtyMcaIUa/xWT8= =X8wX -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have read in the php manual that [quote] When a file is include()ed, the code it contains inherits the variable scope of the line on which the include() occurs. Any variables available at that line in the calling file will be available within the called file. If the include() occurs inside a function within the calling file, then all of the code contained in the called file will behave as though it had been defined inside that function.

Then I make an include call to the remote script: include(http://www.someremote.server/calculate_drivers.php;); I'd make a bet (I haven't tried it) that you receive the file already parsed and so as pure html. Try it with the extension .txt or something that the remote webserver doesn't process before it outputs the content. In that remote script I use $serie_id to make a database query. But so far, the query fails because $serie_id is not known. Are there any known exceptions (f.i. specific server settings) that might explain why the variable is not known on the remote server?

RE: [PHP] Passing variables with include()
Does http://www.someremote.server/calculate_drivers.php; contain a function? If so, you may have to declare $serie_id as global within it. -Original Message- From: Imar de Vries [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 14, 2002 5:53 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] Passing variables with include() Hi all, at this moment I am working on a script that calculates standings of our online racing competition.

[/quote] This is only true for include()s that occur on a local file. The next paragraph from the manual contains the information that you'll actually need: [quote] If the include()ed file is called via HTTP using the fopen wrappers, and if the target server interprets the target file as PHP code, variables may be passed to the include()ed file using an URL request string as used with HTTP GET. This is not strictly speaking the same thing as include()ing the file and having it inherit the parent file's variable scope; the script is actually being run on the remote server and the result is then being included into the local script. [/quote] The distinction is: When you include() a local file, the parser will insert the *code* from that file into your script, and it will behave just as if the code itself was typed in at that point. When you include() a remote file, all the parser has access to is the *results* of the remote file request. --- Mark Roedel | Blessed is he who has learned to laugh Systems Programmer| at himself, for he shall never cease LeTourneau University | to be entertained.
