No different ideas, just more of the same!

Have you actually tried it with the full URL? The help file seems quite
clear that it is needed when passing parameters otherwise PHP tries to open
a file with the name including the parameters.

I have just tried this on my local set-up:

Two php scripts as below

inc_test.php

<?
include("http://localhost/inc_test2.php?letter=A");
?>

and

inc_test2.php

<?
if (!empty($letter)) {
  echo $letter;
} else {
  echo 'letter was not passed';
}
?>

If I call inc_test.php in my browser everything works fine and the letter A
is displayed but if I remove the full URL path from inc_test.php i.e.

<?
include("http://localhost/inc_test2.php?letter=A");
?>

I get

Warning: main(inc_test2.php?letter=A): failed to open stream: No such file
or directory in c:\www\vhtdocs\paul\project\inc_test.php on line 2

Warning: main(): Failed opening 'inc_test2.php?letter=A' for inclusion
(include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in c:\www\vhtdocs\paul\project\inc_test.php
on line 2

As you say, if you take the parameter out of the include in inc_test.php
everything works and I get 'letter was not passed' returned to my browser.
So it seems the full path is needed when passing parameters but not
otherwise.
