Inlude problem

[jray214]

I am using Apache and mySql from Abriasoft and want to use the include statement. I have done this in the past using .shtml but want to uuse the PHP statement.

Here is what I have:

/ Begin Menu Include /
include("menu.php");
/ End Menu Include /

Every time I run the code it wants to download the file. What I am doing is loading a menu program so I don;t have to hard code it on every page.

Any help here is appreciated.

Thank worked, but why not the "inluded"?

Thanks for the help.

got no idea, but it could be a bug!

From the mother site:

require() and include() are identical in every way except how they handle failure. include() produces a Warning while require() results in a Fatal Error.

hey...

I've got the same thing going.. BUT
both include and require are causing this side effect
of "file download" window, although it is recognized as php-script.

its' a nightmare...

any new ideas?
