Hi, Thanks to everyone for the input.
Reason I'm not using an include is simple. The file does not contain any variables, it just has a line of text that is & delimited. I guess I was just looking at the include() method as insecure. I can see how it wouldn't be now. Thanks to everyone! -Dan Joseph -----Original Message----- From: Jon Haworth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 04, 2003 3:08 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] Opinion on a method....

As Kevin said, why not just use include()? It'll be a lot easier and just as safe :-) Cheers Jon -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
