i tried include() but it didn't work the first few line of the code with the error is

<?php
// If they tried to install...
if ($submit )){
$error="no";

$result =@include('settings.php');
// Check if they uploaded settings.php
if ( $result ) { $log.= "Settings.php found <br /> \n";} else { $error="yes"; $log.= "Settings.php not found <br /> \n";}

the error appear in line 8 , i tried to remove the @ but the same... in fact its a php script i tried to install but it appear with this errors so am tring to fix it

When you include a file like:

include("somefile.php");

...later on in your script you can use all the variables from that file...

So if you have defined $some_variable in somefile.php then you can echo it after you included the somefile.php....

include("somefile.php");
echo $some_variable;

yes i remove the $result=@ and its ok now
