It depends on how you are using it. If you want what you are require()'ing to *vary* on each loop iteration, you must use include(). A require() is only executed once, during the initial parse of the file. An include() gets re-evaluated on each loop iteration, so you can vary the filename, etc. See http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.require.php for more. Kirk
