Query Strings, extract() and including pages

[Logical]

I wanted to do:
include('page.h tm?id=12&foo=ba r');

But since I can't (and don't want to make another seperate HTTP request
with include('http://...')); I was wondering if there's a function
similar to extract(); that can handle a query string as input, so that I
could:
$id = 12;
$foo = 'bar';
include('page.h tm');

I am using this on a 'processor' style page to interperet URLs as
http://foo.com/bla. It consults a database to manage a large number of
URLs to their pages.

In your included file, you can use:

global $id, $foo;

And you'll be able to use those variables just like any other variable.

Don't quite understand what you're trying to do, but I think parse_str() is
what you're looking for.

Isn't global-ing variables like that not required?
<http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variab les.scope.php>

I'm actually more concerned about how to get $id and $foo 'out of' the
query string attached to the URL (this part: page.htm?id=12& foo=bar).

parse_str(), that's it!
Thanks.

When you include a file, it inherits the scope of variables at the
point of inclusion. It means that $id and $foo are available to the
included script already. You would need to declare them as global
only if your include is a function.
