Run PhP code thats in a separate file

[basil]

I have a HTML table and want to run some PhP code withing one cell, but want the code to be in a separate file. Is there a way to have a PhP script run that will access additional PhP code that resieds in a separate file....like this:

<TD>
<?

Get code from file.php and run it

?>

</TD>

Thanks

Have you tried include() ? 😉

Ok, I tried it but it doesn't see to run when called. Here's what I have:

In an HTML file I have:

<?php

include("somecode.php");

?>

If I run the file "somecode.php" from my browser it works fine, but when I use the Include statement as above and go to the HTML file that has the PhP include statement, the code inside "somecode.php" doesn;t seem to run. What I want to do is have the php code inside "somecode.php" to run when I access it via the include statement. What else do I need to do?

Thanks,
