Hi Frank, The reason I asked is that some files I'm modifying have "include_once" used in every instance. There doesn't seem to be any reason why they are using this, as there's no chance of being included twice.
It seems that they've used "include_once" (just in case), which is misleading. I've also seen this in free examples I've downloaded, where "include" on it's own is never used. It's just a trend that I have noticed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Franks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <php-list@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 09, 2005 7:01 PM Subject: Re: [php-list] Include files > Thanks, Bob.
