Re: How to return a file
Sorry I'm just now getting around to looking at this some more. It's
been a long week! I'll try this again and let you guys know if it
works.
Thanks again for all the help you guys have offered! Again, I'll let
you know if I get it to work for me.

No, I disagree.
Yes, your answer and Joe's do the same thing.

prone to error but it is just as prone when done from Joe's same difference.

The point of the exercise is to help Bryan "get it to work"
Clearly, although simpler, Joe's post failed in that end.
Has my post failed to help Bryan get it to work? Only Bryan can say.

This works with and without the header in bar.php
minimum 1 code line in each file. simple enough? and yet not so simple as
Joe's post but yet expanded to a working example.

Hope this helps get it to work for you Bryan.

all it is that simple, the rest is illustration padding...
and BTW in case you didn't notice Joe and I are essentailly in agreement
except for the header part, which you don't argue with, just dismiss the
entire post. Anyone can dismiss. All I have done is expand on what Joe

with an example but showing that it works just fine without the header.

Yours is more complicated,
harder to understand and more prone to errors - especially when you have
to later modify it.
