RE: [PHP] Small Include Problem

Hi Tom You could make the error.php a function instead. Place this in a file and include this. Then you could pass something the error msg to it rather than defining it first. Then create a function in here say err_msg($msg) where message would be whatever. So to call the function you would type err_msg("There has been a problem opening the database!"); M@ > -----Original Message----- > From: Tom Peck [mailto:tompeck@paradise.net.nz] > Sent: Thursday, July 27, 2000 01:27 > To: PHP List > Subject: [PHP] Small Include Problem > > > Hello Everyone. > > I have a small problem with using an include file.
