It should be noted that the MS KnowledgeBase article about trying to do a dynamic include (as of when I last used ASP, years ago) made absolutely NO mention of using:
<!--#include <%=FileName%> --!> and tells you to just 'read' and 'print' the file -- which doesn't execute the ASP at all, and there is no 'eval' function (as far as I could find). So, assuming this #include stuff actually works, I guess it's just the documentation that sucked, not the actual technology. For *THIS* problem. I fought with ASP for only a few months, but it felt like years, and I hated every minute of it. I actually wrote comments in ASP like: <% /* Microsoft sucks, Microsoft sucks Can't moveFirst in an empty record set */ %> My co-workers knew when such comments were written, since I would sing them as I typed. (Yes, really) I had a lonnnnnnnnnng song before that two months was up... "Boolean expressions don't short-circuit" is another verse I recall, off the top of my head. Sadly, I lost all my copies of that song/project. Oh well. If somebody out there actually *LIKES* ASP VBScript programming, more power to them -- So long as I don't have to ever use it again, I don't care what you use. Oh yeah, here's a good one: *EVERY* error message coming back from SQL Server had the same error number -- Even when the error *message* was different! That's got to be in the running for dumbest software design choice on the planet. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
