@NogDogJan 15.2008 — #Basically, no. In any case, it would probably make more sense from an OOP aspect to have the functionality in those include files put into their own classes, then instantiating them within your "whatever" class, e.g.: [code=php] require_once 'Sql.class.php'; require_once 'GeneratePage.class.php'; class whatever { private $sql; private $generatePage; public function __construct() { $this->sql = new Sql(); $this->generatePage = new GeneratePage(); } public doSomething() { $result = $this->sql->query('some sort of SQL thing here'); $this->generatePage->output($result); } } [/code]
