Re: Parent File Constant?

$PHP_SELF will tell you what the current document is. For example say you have the following file called temp.php3 and it includes the following lines.. <? include ('header.php'); include ('main.php'); include ('footer.php'); ?> if you were to call $PHP_SELF; in any of the included files, it would return temp.php3 Jordan ""Cosenza, Mario"" <mcosenza@engsvcs.com> wrote in message news:A8F517777541D411BFFB02204840172112B582@EXCHANGE1... > I've been looking through the list archives and the manual, but can't find > out... > > how to get the name of the parent file (from an include statement). > > Example: main.php includes "header.php" and "footer.php".
