The way you're doing it now, your making a brand new request for the _result_ of a .php page. There is no relation to this page and new.php when you request it in this manner. If you just do include('new.php'), then it takes the _php_ code (the whole file) from new.php and inserts it into this file and runs it. So then your variables will still work. also, take away the "global $name" calls, they don't do anything. > ?> > <hr> > <?php > include("http://www.vocalwebsites.com/footer.php"); Same thing here... You're getting the parsed _result_ of footer.php, not the code. ---John Holmes...
