I think I\'ve tried every op

Answer 1

I've run into this issue where I had a file that sets variables based on the GET parameters. And that file could not updated because it worked correctly on another part of a large content management system. Yet I wanted to run that code via an include file without the parameters actually being in the URL string. The simple solution is you can set the GET variables in first file as you would any other variable.

Instead of:

include "myfile.php?var=apple";

It would be:

$_GET['var'] = 'apple';
include "myfile.php";
