The file name is not 'mypage.php?name=joe', is it? That is, do you see
that in your directory listing?

When you use GET parameters, the web server strips them out before
fetching the file. include() does not such thing.

Include just copies the included file into the location in your existing
file, just as if you had cut and pasted it. So, if you have:

$name='joe';
include('mypage.php');

Within mypage. php you can just reference $name and get 'joe'.
