PHP include not working in a JQuery .load

Question

I have this code on my index.php page:

require_once 'includes/settings.php';

require_once 'includes/data_functions.php';

if($_GET["section"] == '1') {
    require_once 'includes/includes.php';

    require_once 'pages/'.$_GET["id"].'.php';
    exit();
}

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Integra | <?php echo $PageTitle; ?></title>
<meta content='width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no' name='viewport'>

<?php require_once 'includes/includes.php'; ?>

<body class="skin-black-light sidebar-mini sidebar-collapse">

and i use JQuery .load to load pages into a popup div, when loading the page it has the $_GET variable section = 1 so it runs the above code

here is the function that i use to .load pages:

function LoadModal(page, title) {
    title = title || '';

    $( "#modal_page" ).fadeIn("slow");
    $( "#modal_title" ).html(title);

    $("#modal_page_body").html('<h2 align="center">Loading...</h3><p align="center"><i class="fa fa-refresh fa-spin fa-5x"></i></p>'); //$('#LoadingDiv').show();
    $("#modal_page_body").load(page, function(){

    });
    $("html, body").animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, "slow");
}

and then to call this function:

<a href="#" onClick="LoadModal(\'/section/page?seq=add\', \'Add\');" title="Add"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i></a>

so the includes.php file is included in all pages.

this includes some jquery files which have some functions in.

when opening a page in the popup using jquery .load these specific jquery funtcions are not working at all however if i remove the $_GET var (section = 1) to open the page not in the jquery popup (.load) the functions are working fine

what could be causing these to stop working only in the jquery .load

Could you just post the whole code, or a bit more of it, in context and actually as it's written without saying "and below that, below that" etc. That'll make it easier to help you :). — Alexander Wigmore

Loading files based on user input is a really really terrible idea. — PeeHaa

You failed to supply the code which actually calls load, but I'll bet you failed to include the query string there when you passed a URL to it. — Quentin

Using $_GET, completely unfiltered, to set a file path is a terrible idea. — Quentin

Your URL (/section/page?seq=add) doesn't include section=1 in the query string, so $_GET['section'] is not set.
