PHP and smarty include help needed

Trying to get a php include to work properly in a tpl file (smarty), with no luck.

I want to duplicate a url with variable like this one
{$my_pligg_base}/play.php?id={$link_id}
(this is working fine)

Now i am trying to do something like:

{php}include file='http://www.mysite.com/thumb.php?id={$link_id}'{/php}

The include works, but i can't get the variable to show correctly inside the smarty php tags.


Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

i don't think that you must variable throw smarty try define a variable in working php. next in tpl file try to use code like this:

{PHP}include 'http://www.mysite.com/thumb.php?id='.$your_variable;{/PHP}

PHP:

I'm not tested this but i think this should work

 

Seems like the variable is not included with the URL.

If i type http://www.mysite.com/thumb.php?id=28 it works fine

{PHP}include 'http://www.mysite.com/thumb.php?id='.$your_variable;{/PHP}

however is just getting processed as http://www.mysite.com/thumb.php?id= (variable is not being passed)

Is it possible what i am trying to do?
