Re: Include / Require

Actually, the the I'm trying to include has several segments in it, which depend on which table was just queries. It basically looks like this: if (table_1) { return this set of variables } elseif (table_2) { return this other set } elseif (table_3) { return these ones } else { echo "you bonehead, you didn't include a table!"; } You're saying, if I just include 'variables.inc', it will know what $table is (from the main script) and would run through that routine fine? Actually, it makes sense, all it does is include it as if I wrote it in the main script. Okay, so how can I make it so I only get the variables returned, as opposed to it including the whole bit in the main script? (kinda like the way a function() with a return $var in it would work.)
