PHP - include file with POST data

Question

I have a PHP file which takes POST data. I run this file currently through AJAX in jQuery:

$.post("myfile.php", { key: value });

I want to run this same file but within another PHP script. This is what I want to achieve:

<?php

include("myfile.php", array("key" => "value") );

?>

I know that the include function doesn't take other parameters, so is there a way to include another PHP file with POST variables?

Answer 1

The $_POST superglobal array is writeable in a PHP script, so:

<?php

$_POST["key"] = "value";
include("myfile.php");

?>

Answer 2

Any post data should be accessible everywhere in your scripts using $_POST.

So just use the post data in your myfile.php by accessing it through $_POST['key'] to get your value.
