Friends-- I have a script that processes another script for display. I change all variables named similar to "$Help1x1" to Help: The following line accomplishes this readily when used in a .php suffixed script when called directly from browser. $content = ereg_replace ("[\$]Help[0-9]x[a-z]? =", "<STRONG>Help:</STRONG>", $content); However, if I instead call a .php script that includes an .inc with this command, it doesn't work. If important, the entire script is below. Sometimes, the last two str_replace lines also fail from .inc. Is this something simple that I'm missing? Best, Ted <?php $fp = fopen("/usr/local/apache/php/Level1Questions.inc", "r"); $content = fread($fp, 100000); $content = str_replace ("//", "", $content); $content = str_replace ("<?php", "", $content); $content = str_replace ("?>", "", $content); $content = str_replace ("**", "<BR><BR>", $content); $content = str_replace ("Question:", "<STRONG>Question:</STRONG>", $content); $content = str_replace ("Answer:", "<STRONG>Answer:</STRONG>", $content); $content = str_replace ("Answers:", "<STRONG>Answers:</STRONG>", $content); $content = str_replace ("@@@", "</STRONG></P>", $content); $content = str_replace ("@@", "<P align=center><STRONG>", $content); $content = str_replace ("++++++", "<HR>", $content); $content = ereg_replace ("[\$]Help[0-9]x[a-z]? =", "<STRONG>Help:</STRONG>", $content); $content = ereg_replace ("[\$]BigHelp[0-9]x[0-9] =", "<STRONG>TEXT:</STRONG>", $content); echo "$content"; ?> _____________ Ted Goranson Fusecap and Sirius-Beta, Virginia Beach USA 757/426-6704 tedg@sirius-beta.com Symmetry Conference: http://www.isis-s.unsw.edu.au
