How-to Save PHP's require URL

[bytech]

I'm receiving a require 'http://somethingurl.com/' from a remote server. I need to extract some values from the actual URL. I know how to do that, but only once the URL is saved in a variable. How can I save the URL to a variable from the provided "require" line? Any tips greatly appreciated.

I'm not fully following you on this. You said you already saved a variable from the URL? So, why would you need to get the requre line if you already have it? Can you show us an example, or the code you have?

Basically I receive a piece of code from an advertiser, and it needs to be pasted into a website. The code includes a "require 'www.something.com?id=xx?method=banner?etc...'"

I'd like to extract the variables included in the URL, like the ID and method in the above example. I don't know how to do that when I'm simply given the 'require' line. I can ask the provider to send it down as a variable and process that, but I am not sure if this is an option, and even if, would like to work as much as possible with the existing setup.

I have a feeling the answer to this question is that there is no way to "recall" via PHP, what 'require' calls have just been made... the only way to extract the variables will be if I can get the URL in the form of a variable that can be used for processing/parsing, or something similar...

Okay, I got around this one and won't need to do this anymore. Still, if anyone has an answer for future benefit of others, feel free to drop us a few hints.
