php echo inside of include workaround?

The Question:

How do you include a page, who's location is based on a variable?

The Goal:

Set Variables (theme location) in a settings.php file...

Root index, should reflect the index depending on the settings.php variable

Thanks For The Help Guys!

<!----//settings.php//---->
<?php 
$siteurl = "http://www.example.com/"
$themefolder = "theme/"; 
$theme = "theme1/"
?>

<!----//index.php//---->
<?php include("settings.php"); ?>

//how do you $E = echo settings variables?
<?php include(" $E index.php"); ?>

Any ideas for a work around?

I want to achieve... include(" $E index.php"); ?> = http://www.example.com/theme/theme1/index.php

So you basically want to include http://www.website.com/theme/theme1/index.php?

That is easy:

<?php
include($siteurl . $themefolder . $theme . "index.php");
?>

I think that it would be easier to think about this if we knew what do you want to achieve. Include different pages according to the url?

What you are trying to do is really supposed to be done with a database, not a PHP script.

When you include a file, you have access to all the variables in scope already, just like it is 1 big file. No need to do weird things there.

So if you have this in your settings.php:

$themefolder = "theme/";

Than you can echo it like this:

!----//index.php//---->
<?php 
include("settings.php");

//echo theme folder
echo $themefolder; // will display "theme/"
