Get php variable from another file

  • 772

I have 2 PHP files.

The first is called data.php and has

<?php

$get = $_GET;

if (isset($get['getBoxes']) && $get['getBoxes'] == 'what-we-do') {
    $boxes = array(
        array(
            'title' => 'e-commerce',
            'color' => '#ff910f',
            'content' => 'As your E-Commerce partner we will identify your specific needs, build solutions that will make your operations stronger, and provide a powerful web presence.',
        ),
        array(
            'title' => 'mobile & social',
            'color' => '#ffd11a',
            'content' => 'Be it iOS, Android or Windows Phone, we can accommodate your specific needs for your ideal mobile application.',
        ),
        array(
            'title' => 'open source cms',
            'color' => '#39a91f',
            'content' => 'Every good open-source CMS system allows for great flexibility to be customized and extended. Let us help you build yours.',
        ),
        array(
            'title' => 'software development',
            'color' => '#17b5ff',
            'content' => 'Our development services help you address evolving business and technology challenges by building applications tailored to meet your business requirements.',
        ),
        array(
            'title' => 'interactive design and usability',
            'color' => '#6b6bff',
            'content' => 'We are a full-service user interface design firm offering information architecture, interaction design, and full visual design.',
        ),
    );

    echo json_encode($boxes);
    exit;
}

if (strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], basename(__FILE__)) !== false) {
    header("HTTP/1.1 404 File Not Found", 404);
    exit;
}

And from a second PHP file called html.php I want to use the $boxes array but I don't know how to access it since it's inside $get.

php

    As I was saying, this type of operation is usually done through Ajax.

    Now, you can literally trick the file like data.phpthis:

    1. inhtml.php

    You build a pseudo_get and then do the include, as follows.

    $get=array('getBoxes'=>'what-we-do');
include('data.php');

    2 indata.php

    You would have to make a slight modification. You must comment or delete this line:

    //$get = $_GET;

    Since the value of GETwould actually be sent from html.php.

    You could also build your own variable$_GET in html.phplike this:

    $_GET['getBoxes'] = 'what-we-do';

    Only in that case, you would have to modify this line of data.php:

    if (isset($_GET['getBoxes']) && $_GET['getBoxes'] == 'what-we-do') {

    //resto del código ...

    Try it and you will see that it works. Anyway, I repeat, this is not the normal procedure.

    What this situation demonstrates is that always , in this type of case, data.phpit will need values ​​from where it is invoked, in order to work properly.

  2. Have you already tried require_once?

    require_once('data.php');

    According to the php manual

    When a file is included, the code it contains inherits the scope of the variables of the line on which the include occurs. Any variables available on that line of the calling file will be available in the called file, from that point forward. However, all functions and classes defined in the included file have global scope. Manual include PHP

    And as I understand your code $boxes will be defined depending on

    if (isset($get['getBoxes']) && $get['getBoxes'] == 'what-we-do')

    so if the condition is not met then $boxes will not be defined and be careful with exit because that will end the execution of the script
