include File Help Needed

[Ralph Freshour]

When I use the include statement and include a file, it prints on the
web page - these are functions that I call deeper into my web page -
there must be a setting that is causing the functions to be displayed
on the web page???

Thanks...

file1.php
---------
<?
include('file2. php');
?>

file2.php
---------
<?
print "this is file 2";
?>

If, when viewing file1.php, you see:

<?
print "this is file 2";
?>

rather than:

this is file 2

then file2.php is not being parsed by the server. I would make
completely sure that file2.php really does have the php tags. Really sure :)
