Okay... I guess I could see that. The include is going to start in HTML mode. That's why the above works because you're starting with HTML. If the include file is all PHP code, then the file is still going to start in HTML mode, though. So you have to open PHP mode with <?php. Now, that being said, there was a discussion on here a while ago that you don't _really_ have to close PHP mode at the end of your file and there were certain pros and cons to doing so. Adapt to your needs. ---John Holmes... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
