Variable problem with a function calling a ext. librairy

Hello, I created a librairy with configuration setting: background color, font size, customer's name, etc. Like this: (lib_config.inc) $bgcolor = "#ffffff"; $co = "ABC enterprise"; A second file is building html page headders: (lib_intra.inc) function title($name_section,$name_page){ print "<br><br>\n"; print font_titre3."$co</font><br><br>\n"; print font_titre2."$name_section</font><br>\n"; print font_titre2."$name_page</font>\n"; print "<br><br>\n"; } Finnaly, I call the title function in a web page to dynamicly create the code: (test.php) echo title("General presentation","The annual report"); My problem (you guessed it!) is that the file lib_intra.inc is beeing processed by php (when callled by my web page test.php) and the 2 variables are sent ok but NOT the $co wich is in the 1st file (lib_config.inc). Of course my lib_intra.inc has a: require ("lib_config.inc"); Because I dont want to duplicate infos that are used in many files, the lib_config.inc is important and must be called to supply the data I need. How can I set this so all the variables will be process under php? Thanks to all! -- Marc André Paquin
