Thanks all who replied. So the include path used in file2.php should be relative to the working directory where file2.php is located. Yes, I have error_reporting=E_ALL in my php.ini. The log shows include_path=.|xxxx. But in my situation, it took me a while to figure out what that '.' really means because file2.php is not an actual file on the filesystem. file2.php is a PHP content element in a web application. Anyway, I've figured out. Bing > 2006/4/27, Bing Du <bdu@xxxxxxxxxxx>: >> >> Hello, >> >> Here are the two scripts. The result is 'var is' rather than 'var is >> foo'.
