I need pass the ID number of a person to a PHP page.
Normally I would do this:
So it would pick 2 from a $_REQUEST.
But I don't need another inc file, I need it to work like this:
Is there a way to use the $_REQUEST without an include file - ie. directly from the PHP source??

I don't understand...why can't you use the code you posted first?

It's because the script that checks their status is called loginstatus.php, and I want the page where they have to subcribe, to be subscribe.php.
One has to be passed to the other.

So...you're including two files? And you want them both to be able to access the same ID?
When you include a file, it's given the variable/function scope of the parent file, so it will have access to $_GET['id'].
Is this what you mean?

Hi, I have actually worked it out myself now.
If you have $id = $_REQUEST['id']; at the start of the posted to page, and the redirect says subscribe.php?id=2, then it works a treat.
