Classes can contain functions and variables, trying to include a file in a class won't work... You can include it in a function however, and the proper way to do this would be... <? class Classx { var $somevar; function Classx() { //constructor or call a loadDefaults type method include "some.inc"; } ... } // some.inc <? $this->somevar = "whatever"; ?> Or if you have some global configuration options that need to be available to normal scripts and classes, do: function Classx { var $somevar; function Classx() { include "some.inc"; $this->somevar = $somevar; } } //some.inc <? $somevar = "whatever"; ?>
