Passing Variables via file_get_contents

[jackli]

I am trying to pass URL variables via file_get_contents("http://url.com/?var1=foo&var2=bar") ... but the variables aren't being passed. Please help!

[stonedeft]

have you tried:

$va1 = $_GET['var1'];
$var2 = $_GET['var2'];

echo $var1. '<br />'. $var2;

[jackli]

that doesn't solve my problem though.. i am trying to send variables via file_get_contents

What makes you think the variables aren't being passed? Give us a quick test script (for both sending and receiving) which displays this behaviour.

I have found that you have to do
http://url.com/index.php?var1=foo&var2=bar
insead of
http://url.com/?var1=foo&var2=bar
