RE: [PHP-WIN] SESSIONS and include()

Actually it does not make that much sense. I use includes, with PHP extension, and never had a problem. Take a look at how you communicate between modules, ergo if you have globals on or off, the scope of variables, etc. It seems as if "user_level" is not known within the module.

I've never tried including a php file myself so cannot verify their information, but it makes sense. When I use includes, I use a specific file extension and store the files in a protected directory (so they are not just able to be viewed by browsing directly to the file) and it works fine. If you do it with a different file extension, make sure you configure your web server to make PHP process pages with that extension.
