This would be causing a second HTTP request from your web server to your web server for the included code ... there are no cookies on the HTTP request for the included code, /and/ the variables available to the parent are not available to the included code. You effectivly get the output of common.php, not included code. Try this: - copy common.php to common.inc (or some other extension that your web server is not configured to hand off to be parsed by PHP). - in the parent code, include() the common.inc URL instead of the common.php URL. Let us know if that helps or not. g.luck, ~Chris
