Re: question about INCLUDE behavior

The reason you get that is because include automatically outputs the data to the web browser, and it doesn't store the output in the variable, so all you need is: ... if ($publication_type == "magazines") { include ('included.inc'); } ... and that will give the required effect. The include is returning 1 to say it was successful, so you were having include output the information, and then outputting the returned 1. Matthew At 12:59 PM 12/26/2000 -0500, you wrote:

Hello! I have this include file: include.inc --------- (line is not included) <table> <tr> ... </tr> </table> --------- (line is not included) In my code I am doing the following: ... if ($publication_type == "magazines") { $print_data = include ('included.inc'); echo $print_data; } ... and the results are the following --------- (line is not included) <table> <tr> ... </tr> </table> 1 --------- (line is not included) I have this " 1 " there that I don't know where come from... Could you please tell e what is that? BTW the work around that I found is the following (it is dirty but is working): --------- (line is not included) <table> <tr> ... </tr> </table> <!-- --------- (line is not included) and is printing the following now: --------- (line is not included) <table> <tr> ... </tr> </table> <!-- 1 --------- (line is not included) problem solved... I know that is veeery ugly, but I don't understand RegEx (by the way, where I can find info about this?) and I could not figure out a string function that will take out this last character... Heeeeelp!!! ;-) thank you!! Rom
