RE: [PHP] Editing Variables from another script.

It depends upon what your overall aim actually is. If you want a different value depending upon where this file is being used in your site, then you should probably just set the value accordingly in that part of the site. i.e. > > include "database.inc" > > . > > . > > . > > . > > $dbhost='localhost'; If you want a different value in the same place based upon a different 'user' or other criteria, then you should probably write some logic to handle the situation. i.e. include "database.inc"; if (MYCRITERIA) { $dbhost='localhost'; } The only reason that I can think of for you wanting to change the physical file would be if you are writing some code to generate a release for different users. In which case, you'll probably want to build a parser and use some kind of templating system.
