Requesting PHP variable inside include, defined outside include

Bit of a problem here, I have a file with the following code:

<?php 
$kvkvariable = 000050650459;   
include("../../../../../../httpdocs/profiel/indextemplate.php"); 
?>

Inside the included PHP file, I need $kvkvariable. However, when I echo this variable it's not showing the number I want it to show?

If I place the defining code of the $kvkvariable inside indextemplate.php it works fine. I thought including was the same as pasting the code in the same file? How do I fix this?

Thanks!

EDIT:

indextemplate.php immediatly starts with this:

<?php

echo "Dit is kvk: ".$kvkvariable."";

It gives the following result:

Dit is kvk: 1337893

To be honest with you, I have no idea where he gets that number!?

how about:

<?php
$kvkvariable = 000050650459;   
include( "../../../../../../httpdocs/profiel/indextemplate.php?myvar=" . $kvkvariable ); 
?>

And you treat the variable inside your include as $_GET[ 'myvar' ]

Then your second file should be like this:

<?php
echo "Dit is kvk: " . $_GET[ 'myvar' ] . "";

The answer to my own question was fairly simple, use "" around the number defining the variable! My bad.. Maybe this helps someone out!

<?php 
$kvkvariable = 000050650459;   
include("../../../../../../httpdocs/profiel/indextemplate.php"); 
?>

When PHP sees a number beginning with a 0, it assumes it's octal - and if you run 000050650459 through an octal to decimal converter, it gives you 1337893.

So your include is working as expecting; it's PHP's variable typing that's not doing what you expect.

Try using php's global keyword.

<?php 
global $kvkvariable;
$kvkvariable = 000050650459;   
include("../../../../../../httpdocs/profiel/indextemplate.php"); 
?>
