Hi Mark,
No, this isn't possible as it makes no sense. When you include a file, you
are not performing a request that generates a response - you are simply
including the contents of one file in another. When you call include, think
of it as just copy/pasting the contents of the included file at that point.
Any variables already defined (and in scope) will therefore be be available
to the code included file, for example:
--- main.php ---
$strTitle = 'The title';
$intTitleLength = strlen($strTitle);
include('display.php');
--- display.php ---
echo 'Title is '.$strTitle.' and is '.$intTitleLength.' characters long';
I hope this makes sense but feel free to reply to the list if you have any
questions.
Edward
