It's okay to do so. That's why include() was created; to provide conditional inclusion.

The result is a class or function inserted right in the middle of an if{} block: } elseif ($var=='a') { include('temp.php'); $obj = new foo; echo $obj->hello(); } The above code expanded looks like this (below). Works, but it seems wierd to be able to have a class in the middle of an if{} code block. } elseif ($var=='a') class foo { function hello() { return "Hello"; } } $obj = new foo; echo $obj->hello(); } Andrew -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
