Just a quickie, I'm trying to modify this phpBB and theres 2 includes (1 include on the page, then 1 include on that included page is the intended target) I want to pass a variable through, however it isn't passing.

Any suggestions?

I may be wrong, I've never tried this, but it may be possible to just assign a value to the variable before you include the page.

PHP Code:

$x = 1;
include('pagewithx.php'); 


If that doesn't work you may want to try adding your variable to the global vars before you include the page and do the same thing.

That's right, however not the problem

Your first inclue that declares the variable(s)

PHP Code:

 $name = "bob";
 $id = 13053;
 ... 


The include you need to use the previous variables from

PHP Code:

 global $name;
 print $name;
 global $id;
 print $id; 


I just learned this today too!

You have very strange problem. I always use includes which print something defined in the outer file and it always works fine. In the past I used 'global' directive only if I needed to access a variable inside the function, but now I just use $GLOBALS['variable'] to do it.

The only difference is that I never use include(), only require() or require_once().
