passing variables to sub-page using server.execute

[sweenster]

i'm using server.execute() to include a sub-page within another page, however I would like to be able to pass variables to the sub-page from the main page. can this be done with server.execute()?

I don't think you can.
I ran some tests but I don't know how to do it.

However, you can use <!--#INCLUDE FILE="file.asp" -->
But you need SSI, and you probibly have it on your server, so it's worth a try.

Any variable made before the include, can be used and changed and whatever inside of file.asp.

Tell me if this works.

#include server.execute and server.transfer all transfer the page state over (with all the variables) but for some reason only #include seems to transfer functions you have made on the original file *shrugs*

Any form variables, query string variables that were available to the original page should be available to the page transfered to via server.execute, methinks.

I tried it, and it doesn't seem to work for me.

I added my own string variables to this little example here:

works fine for me, im using iis 6 not chillisoft though, heres the code i ran:
(the page run was ServerExecute.asp?page=requeststuff.asp)

ServerExecute.asp:<%
Response.Write "on page 1, transfering to page2:<hr>"
Server.Execute(Request.QueryString("page"))
Response.Write "<hr>back on page 1"
%>requeststuff.asp:Request.QueryString = '<%=Request.QueryString%>'<br>
Request.Form = '<%=Request.Form%>'and heres the result:on page 1, transfering to page2:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Request.QueryString = 'page=requeststuff.asp'
Request.Form = ''
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
back on page 1

That's not what he meant.

He meant this:

Page1.asp

<%
Dim strVar
strVar = "This Text"
Response.Write("Page 1 <br>")
Server.Execute("page2.asp")
Response.Write("Page 1 check: """ & strVar & """")
%>

Page2.asp

<%
Response.Write("Page 2 <br>")
Response.Write("Page 2 check: """ & strVar & """<br>")%>
