Hi everyone; I have only started to program in php over the past month or so. but I'm some problems with this bit of code below. error message is: Fatal error: failed opening required "press.inc" (include_path=") in D:\Inetpub\paulberry\main.php on line 201 I'm passing the values of main.php?pageid=1 If I manually place press.inc it works OK.. Does anyone know can you place variables in the require statement ?? <?php // create connection $connection = mysql_connect("localhost","****","****") or die("Couldn't make connection."); // select database $db = mysql_select_db("paulberrydb", $connection) or die("Couldn't select database."); // create SQL statement $sql = "select id, title, includefile from pages where id=$pageid"; // execute SQL query and get result $sql_result = mysql_query($sql,$connection) or die("Couldn't execute query."); // start results formatting // format results by row while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)) { $title = $row["title"]; $includefile = $row["includefile"]; echo "<p class='title'>$title</p>"; echo "</TD>"; echo "</TR>"; echo "<TR>"; echo "<TD height=75 align='left' valign='top'>"; echo "<P>"; ************************************** Problem area require('$includefile.inc'); *************************************** I also tried this.. $includef = "'$includefile"; $includef .=".inc'"; require($includef); *************************************** echo "</TD>"; echo "</TR></TBODY></TABLE>"; } // free resources and close connection mysql_free_result($sql_result); mysql_close($connection); ?> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David Irwin DWI Web Design E-Mail: dave@dwiwebdesign.co.uk Http: www.dwiwebdesign.co.uk Tel: 028 38891537 Mobile: 07968483610 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
