include virtual in ssi. is this the filetype u are asking?

Inside of your include file, have you declared all variables as global? example: global $x;

Declaring all of the variables as global may set their scope to page level not your included page level. So declare all of your varibles as global in the include file.

not 100% sure, but i don't think you can pass stuff from a php script in a .sthml file.

I've declared all the variables as global.

joyce why not attach the code for them to view? That way they will know what is wrong with it.

below is the code that from disimage.php. i want to pass the value of subcat,

<!--#include virtual="/review/admin/disimage.php?subcat=Net"-->
to the php file as below.


echo "<table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='1' cellpadding='0' align='center'><tr bgcolor=#000000><td>";
echo "<font face='verdana' color=#FFFFFF size='2'><b>&nbsp;Categories</b></font></td></tr>";
echo "<tr height=10></tr></table>";

global $subcat;
$table = "cat_review";
$field = "*";
$criteria = "order by cat_cat asc";
$review_obj=new review_DB($dbhost,$dbusername,$dbpasswd,$db);
$getdata=$review_obj->get_data($table, $field, $criteria);
$data=$getdata[0];
$numrows=$getdata[1];

if ($numrows > 0)
{
for ($i=0; $i < $numrows; $i++)
{
$id = $data[$i][0];
$cat = $data[$i][1];
$subcat = $data[$i][2];
$title = $data[$i][3];
$desc = $data[$i][4];
$image = $data[$i][5];

echo"<table width=100% border=0 cellpadding=1 cellspacing=1>";
echo "<tr><td width=20%>";
echo"<table width=100% border=0 cellpadding=1 cellspacing=1>";
echo "<tr><td width=80%><a href=\"../admin/display.php?gid=$id&cat=$cat&subcat=$subcat&title=$title&desc=$desc&image=$image&flag=$flag\"><img src=\"".$data[$i][5]."\" width=80 height=120 border=0></a>\n</td></tr>";
echo "</table>";
echo "<td width=80%>";
echo "<table width=100% border=0>";
echo "<tr><td width=100%><font face=arial size=3><b><u>$subcat</u></b></font>&nbsp;<font face=arial size=1>($cat)</font></td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td width=100%><font face=arial size=2><b><i>$title</i></b></font></td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td width=100%><font face=arial size=2>$desc</font></td></tr>";
echo "</table>";
echo "</table>";
echo "<hr>";
}

}

You can't do what you're asking. Which is weird cause I thought it would work but after some testing it apprently doesn't.

Just for general reference, variables do not need to be set as global in PHP unless inside a function or class.
