You're probably better off adding name to $_GET so the same code
can work regardless of which way mypage.php is being called (on it's own
or through this page).
$_GET['name'] = 'joe';
include('mypage.php');
Or (just for completeness, it's slower) you could do:
include("http://myhostname/mypage.php?name=joe");
(this involves apache so would register an extra hit on your site and be
slower as it would involve a separate PHP instance).
Cheers,
Andy
