cheers guys, looks like it was just some lax configuration on the old server the allowed it to work like that.

Abhishek,
yeh, we've had a redesign of the system along OOP lines on the books for a while now but we're a volunteer project so things like that tend to get shoved to the back. Looks like we're gonna have to implement it now though

cheers for your help guys.

Whatever it is you're doing, it might be a good idea, if you're trying to modularise it, to write it with OOP principles. In testInc, write your processes as a class, and in the main file, just initialise the class and pass whatever values you need.

What is up is it is not finding a filename "testInc.php?some=thing" Filesystems do not take query strings like URL's do.

To do what it appears you are trying to do, you could do the following:

-- Main File --

<?php
  echo \"Going to use a variable named Some that equals Thing<br>\n\";
  $Some = \"Thing\";
  include('testInc.php');
?>

-- testInc.php --

<?php
  echo \"The value of Some is \" . $Some . \"<br>\n\";
?>

When you do an include, it takes the code of the include executes it as if it is part of the same file, so as it processes your script, it sees:

<?php
  echo \"Going to use a variable named Some that equals Thing<br>\n\";
  $Some = \"Thing\";
  echo \"The value of Some is \" . $Some . \"<br>\n\";
?>
