How to have one mod call another mod and return?

[Rik Brown]

Require_once() won't work for us do to conflicts between variables in two scripts by two different authors.

1.) Can anyone show me an example of what to embed in the first script to use $_POST to send variables to a 2nd script (I think I understand how to evaluation them in the 2nd script)?

2.) Otherwise, I see that PHP has curl functions built into it. I'm temporarily using curl on our server via cron and a bash script to execute these 2nd php scripts. But I'd much rather have have them invoked from the first php script.

Again, we manually invoke our script with URLs such as vb.com/script.php?do=run&forum=27&days=30 etc. But we could make these script utilize any passed $_POST variable if there are no variables embeded in the script's command line.

Any suggestions?

Thanks. -- Rik
