Just don't name any of your real files "include"! If you have access to your web server, you can easily set a directive in httpd.conf (assuming you're using Apache) to deny any file serve request with the following line: <Files ~ "\.inc$"> Order allow,deny Deny from all </Files> Erik ---- Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H.
