CFModule converted for PHP

I am looking for a PHP equivalent of the cfmodule function. In my example, I am passing variables as well. Is there a good PHP equivalent to this?

<cfmodule name="request.displayTable"
	jobinfoid="#np.id#"
	jobarea="ALL"
	jobtype="summary">

Since I don't really understand ColdFusion, this may be a little bit speculative, but I'll tell you what I think I am seeing here. It looks like a data base query asking for something like this:

SELECT * FROM displayTable WHERE jobinfoid = '$np->id' AND jobarea = 'ALL' AND jobtype = 'summary'

In this query statement, $np is an object, and id is a property of the object. There is no requirement for this to be the case; the variable might be any string or integer value. I was just echoing what I think CF is talking about.

Does that sound like it's on the right track?

Nope. CFModule is kind of like a big brother to the include file and/or functions. It has a single depository location outside of the websites and allows multiple sites to call the same functions, without having to have duplicated code.

Gotcha. Here is what I recommend. Make a copy of this question, then delete it and repost it anew. Some of the EE community will not look at questions when there is already a dialog in process, assuming that the question is getting handled. In this case, it's not, and a fresh post will be likely to get more eyes on it. Best regards, ~Ray

Works, but not very elegant.
