RE: [PHP-DB] Include File Syntax

hi kat, the include files are simply a way for repetitive code (like a connection to a db) to be inserted into your pages. the syntax for the files is the same as any php script and it is added to the page at the point that you include it. the format is include ("page_name.php"); the pages that are included are as secure as your scripts.
