hmmm....tupps php script to load data from another server

[shreder540]

ok... im using tupps php script to load xml data from another server. the original script looks like:

<?php
    echo join ('', file ('http://www.whatever.com/whatever.xml'));
?>

Now...i kinda need to define a variable ($current) and add it to the end of the url to load differnt xml data like:

<?php
    echo join ('', file ('http://www.whatever.com/whatever.cgi?current=$current'));
?>

But the variable $current is defined in flash. How do i ask this...my php script is called request.php so is it possible to load request.php?current=ANY NUM and whatever current equals, that number is added to the end of the url inside the php?
does that make sense?
