The > 1st call works. because it doesn't really include this file on the 2nd call. [quote] include_once() should be used in cases where the same file might be included and evaluated more than once during a particular execution of a script, and you want to be sure that it is included exactly once to avoid problems with function redefinitions, variable value reassignments, etc. [/quote] thus, this is expected behaviour. --- WBR, Antony Dovgal aka tony2001 tony2001@phpclub.net
