Is common.php on the same server as index.php? If so, then (unless you have special reasons otherwise), you should NOT be including via URL but via the local filesystem: include('local/filesystem/path/to/common.php'); What does common.php do anyway? There is a whole world of difference between including a file via URL and via filesystem. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * /* There is never time to do it right, but always time to do it over. */
