My web hosting company is running php 4.0.4pl1 Why should it be that these are different <?php global $root; include_once("include\blah.php"); ?> and <?php global $root; $blah="include\blah.php"; include_once($blah); ?> When I say different I mean; 1) global variable are not avaiable in the second version 2) functions defined in the included file are not accessable in the including file. 3) in both examples the file is included, its just the scope that seem shot Any answers? Henry
