I am confused why my code below don't work:
include('section_common.php?cat=' . $cat_map[$cat]['url']);
it give:
Warning: include(section_common.php?cat=cat): failed to open stream: No error in C:\xampp\htdocs\1.php on line 67
while when i visit localhost/section_common.php?cat=cat it works well, i think that the problem is in the function include itself, as the included link is working in browser and in include it give failed to open stream.
You can't include files like that with a query string. Perhaps restructuring your code will make your code better and less fragile.
Is not possible to pass parameters to include or require.
DEFAULT
$cat= $cat_map[$cat]['url'];
include("section_common.php");
In "section_common.php":
echo $cat;
SESSION
session_start();
$cat= $cat_map[$cat]['url'];
$_SESSION["cat"] = $cat;
include("section_common.php");
In "section_common.php":
session_start();
echo $_SESSION["cat"];
CURL:
$connecturl = curl_init('http://localhost/section_common.php?cat='.$cat_map[$cat]['url']);
curl_setopt($connecturl,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
$output = curl_exec($connecturl);
curl_close($connecturl);
echo $output;
Jquery:
$.ajax({
url: "section_common.php",
type: "GET",
data: {cat:"<?=$cat_map[$cat]['url']?>"},
success: function(data){
$("body").html(data);
}
})
When you include a file you give a file path, it's not an http request so if you give some parameters like:
include("file.php?id=1");
He will looking for the file who named "file.php?id=1" and don't do what you are expecting.
To do what you wanna do just set a variable in your script to your value and if you include your file after you will be able to access to your variable:
$cat= $cat_map[$cat]['url'];
include("section_common.php"); // you can use $cat in this script
It's because "include();" just copy paste the file included. But you have to be carfull if you include this script in another place because maybe he won't find $cat.
You should supply a file name for include(), but what you've written down is not. If you have some conditional cases to be done in section_common.php, maybe you should pass the parameter as $_SESSION variable.
