Inlcude Errors...I need eyes to see why my includes aren't working.

[crowden]

Here's my code...

<?php include "reports/report".$reportTypeID.".php?sr_id=".$sr_id.""; ?>

I've also used...

<?php include "reports/report$reportTypeID.php?sr_id=$sr_id"; ?>

and this...

<?php include ('reports/report'.$reportTypeID.'.php?sr_id='.$sr_id); ?>

I'm getting this error/warning

Warning: main(reports/report1.php?sr_id=397): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/melindab/public_html/clients/video_report2.php on line 290

Warning: main(reports/report1.php?sr_id=397): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/melindab/public_html/clients/video_report2.php on line 290

Warning: main(): Failed opening 'reports/report1.php?sr_id=397' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/melindab/public_html/clients/video_report2.php on line 290

the report folder is within the clients folder, so my paths are correct. I did have the file in an IFRAME and it was working.

Can I not use variables or parameters in an include?

what happens if you use something directly as

include 'reports/report1.php?sr_id=397'; 

and what happens when you use this -

include 'reports/report1.php'; 

This way you will get an idea from where the problem is coming.

Also, since you are doing an include, probably you don't need to send the variable using sr_id with the include file. If you simply use

include 'reports/report'.$reportTypeID.'1.php'; 

, you may be able to use the variable sr_id since that is present in the parent file.
