Hello Everyone. I have a small problem with using an include file. I have some code like this: <? include("login.php3"); if(@mysql_connect("localhost", "root")) { $db = mysql_connect("localhost", "root"); mysql_select_db("olympic",$db); } else { $errMsg = "There has been a problem opening the database!"; require("../error.php"); exit(); } ?> The problem is that the value for $errMsg doesn't get passed to the 'require'd file. Is this normal? If it is not done in this way, how else is it possible? Using cookies? Thanks Tom Peck
