If you think about it, it has to in the scenario you give. if $page == 'refer' then include(somefile) Then in somefile you again test the value of $page - which can _only_ be 'refer'. May I suggest you 'benchtest' your logic? Work your way through your code and keep track (with pencil and paper, if you like) of the values of your key variables at any point in the execution of the script. And, usage of the exit() function in your Switch may not be exactly what you need, either; look at break! -- David Robley Temporary Kiwi! -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
