Hello, Here are the two scripts. The result is 'var is' rather than 'var is foo'. My suspect is I did not set the file path right in 'include'. So in file2.php, how should I get the actual absolute path it really gets for file1.php? Is it stored in some environment variable or something? I'd appreciate any help. file1.php == <?php $var = 'foo'; ?> == file2.php == <?php include '/some/path/file1.php';

global $var; //you have to declare it as a global otherwise it will assume a local value nonsense. Only for functions and such.

If it's in the same folder why dont you use include ("file2.php"); ? Otherwise youse pathes like ../subfolder/folder Only if you really want to load stuff thats not at the web directory use full pathes like /path/to/folder Barry -- Smileys rule (cX.x)C --o(^_^o) Dance for me! ^(^_^)o (o^_^)o o(^_^)^ o(^_^o)
