When you include a file, you are not performing a request that generates a response - you are simply including the contents of one file in another. When you call include, think of it as just copy/pasting the contents of the included file at that point. Any variables already defined (and in scope) will therefore be be available to the code included file, for example: --- main.php --- $strTitle = 'The title'; $intTitleLength = strlen($strTitle); include('display.php'); --- display.php --- echo 'Title is '.$strTitle.' and is '.$intTitleLength.' characters long'; I hope this makes sense but feel free to reply to the list if you have any questions.
