Error 'Failed opening ...' when using include command

I have a php top score that functions correctly the only thing that does not work is when I try to use an include command. I want to display the tope scores in an existing php page, but when the script runs I get and error Here is the script <?php $filen = "http://24.114.69.70/phptop/CPella/scores.php?filename=scores/score.sco&scor esize=10&action=VIEW&viewtype=HTML"; include($filen); ?> And here is the error Warning: Failed opening 'http://24.114.69.70/phptop/CPella/scores.php?filename=scores/score.sco&scor esize=10&action=VIEW&viewtype=HTML' for inclusion (include_path='') in F:\Flash Experiments\PHP Top Score\CPella\test.php on line 10 I though it may have something to do with the include path in my PHP.INI script so I added this to it F:\Flash Experiments\PHP Top Score\CPella\ but still nothing. What am I doing wrong. If I copy the string into the address bar, it works fine, and opens so what gives. Thanks
