Hi, Didn't I mention this before?
> $rootFile = "/accounts/www73038/www/www.art-co-op.net/"; > [..] > include($rootFile . "/html/test/test_abs_file.php"); now, here's a slash too much. by including a file remotely, it is 1. executed by Apache/PHP 2. the OUTPUT of this script is included, NOT the source, thus $inc_abs_http will NEVER be passed over to test.php as you see, your script doesn't output '1' here (and test.php is actually including this OUTPUT, and nothing else. NO source or whatsoever): http://shell9.vhosting.com/www73038/test/test_abs_http.php you *could* rename test_abs_http.php to test_abs_http.inc or .txt (or any other extension which isn't processed by PHP), but as I already mentioned before, that would be a bad practice (unless you don't mind or actually even encourage people to see your code). this is definitively NOT a PHP BUG.
