include question

[VenusJ]

hi,
is there anyway to find out if a file can be automatically included on everypage of the php files?

Like say I have a file called common.php, instead of doing:

include "common.php";

on every single page, i would like just to leave that line out, but at the same time that file will be included.

thank you

There is a php directive called auto_prepend_file and auto_append_file . I believe you can set these values in an .htaccess file like
<files *.php>
php_value auto_prepend_file /path/to/common.php
</files>

If this directive is set correctly, it will automatically execute the given file before every script.
