Bug #14165 Updated: No way to return variables from remote include()

ID: 14165 User updated by: steve@petabit.com Reported By: steve@petabit.com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.0.5 New Comment: This is not the same as 14164. Thanks for the quick response, Brian. I appreciate that the remote file is parsed remotely, and so the var spaces are on different machines. Here's a rephrase of 14165: Given that it *is* possible to pass variable values to a remotely INCLUDE()d file using GET-style syntax, HOW DOES ONE GET ANYTHING BACK? Include appears only to return a single integer, at best. The remotely included file is calling a database and retrieving values. How does the calling file access them?

Arrays and strings don't appear to be passed back in the include()'s return value, it will only pass back integers. If anyone sees another way to do this please help! I will keep looking and post a followup here and to the manual if I find a workaround.
