I've never used method virtual but it seems to fit Your problem. Explanation below. Krzysztof Kocjan virtual (PHP 3, PHP 4 >= 4.0b1) virtual -- Perform an Apache sub-request Description int virtual (string filename) virtual() is an Apache-specific function which is equivalent to <!--#include virtual...--> in mod_include. It performs an Apache sub-request. It is useful for including CGI scripts or .shtml files, or anything else that you would parse through Apache. Note that for a CGI script, the script must generate valid CGI headers. At the minimum that means it must generate a Content-type header. For PHP files, you need to use include() or require(); virtual() cannot be used to include a document which is itself a PHP file. Jean Madson wrote: > I have been thinking about a thing.
