RE: [PHP] i think im crazy..

I think so too... you cannot assign an include() or require() to a variable. when in the middle of the code there's an include() or require() it means that the parser has to get out from the current file (remembering where it was) and start parsing the file specified. Once in that file it finds EOF (end of file) it closes it and reparses the original file staring from the point he left it. it is not an object that you can remember by a variable. printing it means you just look for TRUE; or FALSE; ... TRUE is 1, FALSE is 0. your output is zero because include fails in the way you are trying to do. use fopen().
