The only way to make use of another script without it returning back to the current script once it's done is if that other script calls exit or die to end execution. When you say script 1 "calls" script 2, what do you actually mean? Is it included, are you calling a function in script 2, or is the user clicking on a link / submitting a form that runs script 2? To get "script 1 to begin" from script 2 based on a certain path... script2.php --- if ($path1) { // do stuff here include('script1.php'); exit; } // otherwise do other stuff here --- -Stuart -- Stuart Dallas 3ft9 Ltd http://3ft9.com/
