    include

    I have a php file which include() 's a file with variables, and a file with
    functions.

    so:

    <? include("../data/common.inc") ?>
    <? include("../data/functions.inc") ?>

    if in the php file i then call a function from the functions file, the
    function doesn't see what values the variables in common.inc are, although
    the php file does see the variable values.

    Is there a way of getting round this or is something just going really
    wrong?

    Thanks.

      Hi there
      The way you are including now, is that the server will pars this request
      and thereby giving you the RESULT of the .inc file.

      If you include with the full pathname (c:\root\to\fil e.inc) than the
      source of the inc file is included and not parsed via the server.
      In this way it's like the source of the inc file was in the source of the
      php file you include it in.

      That's what you want.
      Good Luck.

          Sorry but I think this is rubbish!

          Whether you use absolute addressing (c:\root\to\fil e.inc) or relative
          addressing ("../data/common.inc") makes absolutely no difference to the way
          PHP handles the included file contents!

          The contents of the include file are parsed exactly as if they had been
          written in place of the include statement.
          (either that or I am deeply troubled!!)

              I have a related problem.

              I'm trying to include a header on all pages on a site. The header
              contains JavaScript to build flyout buttons on the menu bar. (The code
              is pretty involved; it's generated for me by Dreamweaver.)

              Works fine when the file that's calling the include file is in the same
              directory as include file. But call the include from a subfolder, and
              none of the JavaScript magic works, because the relative links in the
              header include file are broken (I assume).

              Is there anyway to get around this, short of editing the header code by
              hand to try and turn all relative links into absolute links (like I
              said, the code's very dense) or short of placing every document on the
              site in the same folder as the include? (I'd also guess editing the
              header code by hand would make it forever uneditable by Dreamweaver,
              which is unacceptable, as the header files gonna change as the site
              grows.)

                  Sounds like a scope issue. Are you referencing global vars correctly? See <http://php.net/language.variab les.scope>
