Uh, http://www.walkereffects.com/test/include.php is not a "full path
name", that is a URL. That will make an HTTP request to your web server
for /test/include.php which will of course get parsed by PHP and you will
only get the parsed output which means you won't see any variables or any
PHP tags at all for that matter. This is doing exactly what you are
asking it to do.
