I doubt you do =) You're trying to pass what would normally be an HTTP query string as a parameter for opening a local file on your system. There's an exact example of this on http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php example 11-5. Basically you need the include to be an http link...not a local link ex. include("http://www.foobar.com/index.php?lext=php?start=8";); Sincerely, Craig Vincent -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
