note 40179 added to function.include

I'm fairly new to php but learning quickly. I want to use include to get another php page with a url variable from http://wwwnation.net so.. include 'http://wwwnation.net/search.php?q=$what'; the problem is that when i look it's getting the literal "$what". Does anyone know a way round this? Many thanks, Paul. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+40179 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+40179&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+40179&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
