Why my PHP include function not working correctly?

I have this PHP code --

<?php include('res/scripts/php/content_type/form_contents/birth_date_form.php?type=register&query=birth_month'); ?>

As you can see I'm including ?type and &query in it, so is it wrong or there is something else which going wrong. Because it shows me the following error---

Warning: include(res/scripts/php/content_type/form_contents/birth_date_form.php?type=register&query=birth_month) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No error in C:\xampp\htdocs\mysharepoint\1.1\res\scripts\php\content_type\register_form.php on line 82

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'res/scripts/php/content_type/form_contents/birth_date_form.php?type=register&query=birth_month' for inclusion (include_path='.;\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\mysharepoint\1.1\res\scripts\php\content_type\register_form.php on line 82

But after removing ?type=register&query=birth_month, I get no errors! So do you have any suggestions on this, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

PHP is going to look for the file name 'birth_date_form.php?type=register&query=birth_month' which does not exist.

You can pass the variables to your script using in the called url directly, and call birth_date_form.php instead.

That should work.

You cannot include a URL with query string via relative path. If you need to specify the query string, do it as a full absolute URL:

include('http://www.example.com/res/scripts/php/content_type/form_contents/birth_date_form.phptype=register&query=birth_month');

This requires allow_url_fopen to be on.

You are trying to include as if it is served via the web, but include will simply load the local file - so there is no query string as no processing takes place

Furthermore - if you are trying to get an external url to be output from your script, you could do something like this:

echo implode(file('http://localhost/res/scripts/php/content_type/form_contents/birth_date_form.php?type=register&query=birth_month'))
