Description:
------------
The $_GET superglobals are not available when called from included files.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

#include file
include_once("includes/functions.inc.php");


?>

----- included file ---
<?php

if(isset($_GET["TOKENID"]))
   $myToken = $_GET["TOKENID"];
else
   $myToken = "";
#end ifs

print $myToken;

?>

Expected result:
----------------
The value of $myToken is outputed to the screen.

Actual result:
--------------
$myToken does not have any value associated with.  I even tried using print_r($_GET) which returns an empty array. I have tried upgrading to PHP5 as well, but I have the same issue.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
