Re: PHPLib Include - Help!

What I do is inside of a file that I include, I set a define for the name of that include, so then when you need to include it you can do if (!defined('MY_FILE_INC')) include('my_file.inc'); This comes in very helpful when working in project groups when you don't have control of other people's code.
