Hello again; does the following test pass if the file is successfully included: if( include( some file ) ) or does it pass with: if( ! include( some file ) )

have you tried it?

Well, typically while waiting for a reply, which I thank you for, I did browse through My Oreilly text Programming php which did not have anything definitive, and looking at the manual which did not have anything completely satisfying, I did try it as if( include( some file ) ) and it worked. But I also testing a file that I knew would cause an error, sure enough the else conditional did smear error messages all over the browser window.

I have no idea what else condition you mean and I also have no idea what these 'error messages' are or what they have to do with the original question (which I had assumed was about the testing return values from an include statement ... something you could have gleaned from the manual and a couple of tests.

So I did: if(file_exists( some file )) {

    include(some file);

} Thanks again JK

Im not exactly sure either about what you mean but you could give it a try using try {} catch {}
