Using $_GET in PHP include with variable in the include URL -

firslty, please forgive ineloquent phrasing of question.

what trying do, create simple odbc script, , store in file included in main php file several times different variables.

when including them, want specify variables pass it.

my example be:

main page

include("table-fields.php?table=sometable"); 

table-fields.php

$table = $_get['table']; odbc_exec(some database function tbl= $table); 

however, if understanding correct, $_get global, looking main.php?table=

would better choice set variable before including, e.g.:

$table = table; include("table-fields.php"); 

table-fields.php

odbc(some database function tbl= $table); 

i want try , avoid if possible.

thanks, eds

when including file, contents of file outputted current file, it's not requested http, need :

$table = "sometable";  include("table-fields.php"); 

and in included file, use variable :

odbc(some database function tbl= $table); 

as included content work if wrote in main file etc.
