Re: include() and sessions

Hello Lindsey, I am posting this to php-general@lists.php.net for you. The php-dev list is for the development of PHP itself, not for user questions. Also, as a guess to your problem, when you include a resource by URL, you are going to receive the same output that a browser would (when you view source), so any PHP code in that resource is going to be executed prior to receipt. If this is a local file, you should use the filesystem path instead. For example: include '/home/lindsey/public_html/foo.php'; instead of: include 'http://www.example.org/~lindsey/foo.php'; If you must use a URL and you want to retain session, you will have to pass your session identifier on the URL.
