Read All About it everyday at > http://www.up-link.net > If you are including a file from the local machine, you can get it via the local file system a lot faster than grabbing it via http. And as someone else has pointed out, what you get may not be the raw source after being passed through a server. Next, if there is php code in the file you are including and you want to parse it, you need to have <?php and ?> (or the short version, whatever you use) in the included file, notwithstanding that where you include it is in a php parsed block.
