Dear PHP_friends, I have found a strange behaviour of the "include" function. Here it is .

           // 1. this works fine 
                       include ("../../gps_info/fetch_fields.php");

           // 2. this works fine

                       $doc_root=$_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT];

                       include

("$doc_root"."/pages/gps_info/fetch_fields.php");

           // 3. this open the doc fetch_fields.php allright, but variables

that have been set outside fetchfields.php are not available within fetch_fields.php

You could try calling a var with global first global $variable (reference: http://nl2.php.net/global )

                       $root= 'webserver-2';

                       include

("$root"."/pages/gps_info/fetch_fields.php"); Does anybody have a clou as to what's wrong here? Best regards/ Met vriendelijke groet, Rob Ziere Webmaster/beheerder GO-GPS.nl, alles over GPS en wandelen http://www.go-gps.nl
