DOH!! Okay, I've sorted out the [my] problem...
Instead of just doing the include relatively, I tried including it via the
full URL, ie. <?php include("http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]/lib.php";); ?>
I guess it just includes output of the result of this typical HTTP parse.
By just doing <?php include("./lib.php"); ?>, everything works fine.
(Providing of course that the two files exist in the same directory.)
-------------------------------------------------------
If you're interested, this is what I used to test it with:
lib.php:
--------
<?php
function doit($s) { return "done: $s\n"; }
function listem($s) { print "1 $s, 2 ". $s. "s, lots of ".$s."s.\n"; }
?>
A.php:
------
<?php include "http://$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]/lib.php"; ?>
<HTML>
<BODY>
<H1>Something basic</H1>
<H2>Let's do stuff:</H2>
<?php
$todo = doit("put out the garbage.");
$todo .= doit("pay the mower guy.");
$todo .= doit("finish that letter.");
$todo .= doit("take a break.");
print "<PRE>\n$todo</PRE>\n";
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>
-------------------------------------------------------
Original included produced an undefined call to function doit().
