That only applies for functions. This is likely to be, as Bing deduced, a path error on the include filename. Bear in mind that include works relative to your file-system's root, not your Web site's document root -- so is the filename you're using an absolute path in your file-system? And, whilst we're at it, have you got display_errors=On and error_reporting=E_ALL so that you see all error reports, including warnings. Odds on this will give you some sort of clue. Cheers!
