Re: Problem with include()

According to the php manual it can pass args and values. The value I pass in through the $id then determines what poll is presented to the visitor (poll.php opens a file called $id.txt, which contains the poll's title, values, etc). So I set the id variable depending on where the poll script is invoked (i.e. what will the visitor be voting for at this point). I'm confused. I going to have to think of a work-around (sometimes known as a kludge :) ) Thanks -torrent "Bruno Gimenes Pereti" <pereti@ump.edu.br> wrote in message news:008a01c16c48$d3ba94b0$6300a8c0@Metropolitana.administracao... > Does include accept parameter? > I have never tried. > > I think php will try to find a file called "poll.php?id=KnChooseBoots" not a > file called poll and give argument for it.
