Inluce Multiple Files?

[Anon]

Whats the syntax to include more than one file?

One is working fine, but Ive tried many ways to have 2 included but keep getting errors in the browser.

Thanks,

include ('fileone.php');
include ('filetwo.php');
include ('filethree.php');

what are the errors?

What did you try? You should be able to have as many as you want, one per include statement.

I've tried doing that but get this in the browser:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare startelement()

Here is what the code looks like:

<?php
include('filename.php');
include('filename2.php');
?>

It's basically in a HTML file that has been renamed to .php. Either file works fine when it's the only one included, but cant get both to work.

Thanks again,

well, you have the same function name in 2 different files... that isn't allowed.

also make sure that neither of those files include the original file or each other. that might also cause your error

I agree with Michael, but one other possibility is that your included files all have http headers in them. Seems to me that would be a bad thing. not sure though.

I took the original question too literally :-) It sounds like the include worked fine, it just ended up with something illegal when the two files were put together (are there duplicate Javascript functions perhaps?)

Thanks all.

They indeed had a couple functions that were the same.
