if that's a direct copy of what you've got, then the parse error's probably to do with the "var" and not the "include_once"
"var" is used only in classes... -----Original Message----- From: Henry [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 11:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] include_once("blah"); vs $blah="blah"; include($blah); I did as you suggest with an interesting result: include_once "blah.php"; worked var $blah="blah.php"; include_once $blah; gave the following error: Parse error: parse error in <including file> on line <line number> Where the <including file> is the file that was doing the include! Previously include_once($blah) just messed up the scoping and global vars!
