Re: Using variables from includes

Ok, I'm sort of a beginner at this, so cut me some slack. :-) Ok, I have an if then statement that after you click a link it looks like this: blah?page=pagename It looks something like this: <?php if(!$page) { include ("http://www.site.com/home.php"); } else{ include ("http://www.site.com/" . "$page" . ".php"); } ?> This code is in the index.php file. When home.php is included, I want to echo a variable like $title on the index.php page. But $title is defined on home.php. For some reason, I can't get $title to echo on index.php after it's included. Anyone know?? When you access it by HTTP, PHP has no way to get its variables. It simply gets its output, just like a web browser. You need to include it locally to use its variables.
