Include PHP file with parameter

newbie in PHP here, sorry for troubling you.

I want to ask something, if I want to include a php page, can I use parameter to define the page which I'll be calling?

Let's say I have to include a title part in my template page. Every page has different title which will be represented as an image. So,

is it possible for me to call something <?php @include('title.php',<image title>); ?> inside my template.php?

so the include will return title page with specific image to represent the title.

thank you guys.

An included page will see all the variables for the current scope.

$title = 'image title';
include('title.php');

Then in your title.php file that variable is there.

echo '<h1>'.$title.'</h1>';

It's recommended to check if the variable isset() before using it. Like this.

if(isset($title))
{
    echo '<h1>'.$title.'</h1>';
}
else
{
    // handle an error
}

EDIT:

Alternatively, if you want to use a function call approach. It's best to make the function specific to activity being performed by the included file.

function do_title($title)
{
     include('title.php');  // note: $title will be a local variable
}

The included page will already have access to those variables defined prior to the include. If you require include specific variables, I suggest defining those variables on the page to be included

In your included file, you could do this:

<?php
return function($title) {
    do_title_things($title);
    do_other_things();
};

function do_title_things($title) {
    // ...
}

function do_other_things() {
    // ...
}

Then, you could pass the parameter as such:

$callback = include('myfile.php');
$callback('new title');

Another more commonly used pattern is to make a new scope for variables to be passed in:

function include_with_vars($file, $params) {
    extract($params);
    include($file);
}

include_with_vars('myfile.php', array(
    'title' => 'my title'
));

Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but you can create a function to include the file and pass a variable.

function includeFile($file, $param) {
    echo $param;
    include_once($file);
}

includeFile('title.php', "title");
