How do I include external library files in PHP??? I would like to put the lines that are repeated in each php files, in

Just throw caution to the wind and try the include() function!!!! I'm not responsible for the consequences!!! Do not blame me if your file is included!! ---John W. Holmes... PHP Architect - A monthly magazine for PHP Professionals. Get your copy today. http://www.phparch.com/
