I am getting include failed to open stream error on PHP include with variable [duplicate]

Question

I am having issues trying to call a php script from another php script with an include. I am passing "keysum" as a variable and have verified that is the case. The include statement is failing with the following error. I am pretty new to php and need to call different programs one for warehouse summary and one for account summary based on the radio button selected.

PHP Warning: include failed to open stream: No such file or directory referer:

PHP Warning: include(): Failed opening

As you see from my code below I have tried many different ways of doing the path.

Here is the include statement loop.

if($_POST['xltype'] == 'keysum') {

Perhaps you want file_get_contents() or similar instead? include is for local files on the same server. — Qirel

These are all on the same server but for some reason it is not finding the program. I've tried it with the path in the include and without. — Mary Beth Leaf-Hamel

If you want to pass a value through your include, set a variable before you include the file and reference that in the other script. If its not including, and giving you warnings - the path is wrong and you must use the right one. :-) — Qirel

Thank you very much I used $_REQUEST['cust'] = $cust; then the include "keyacctspread.php"; and that worked great. — Mary Beth Leaf-Hamel

You can't include a query string in an include() php won't let you.

If it's two separate servers, you should not be using includes anyway.

You can use a query string if you include from HTTP(s), but not from the filesystem.
