What are you trying to achieve? > Hi, include is not an option because the output of the script to be inserted should be included in other files as well; not all of them written in PHP. Furthermore the script outputs a <form>..</form> which if you submit it calls that script which parses and controls the user input. So it would be good, if all information concerning the input would be written in that script. So I could use that script also in html pages though mod_include or Perl pages through something similar. But that means that that script has to have all functions it needs to check user input etc. And the problem is now, that some of these functions are not in a separate lib file but are all defined in each script which needs them (that can't be changed because a lot of scripts are written in that way). So the solution seemed to be `virtual' but that doesn't work (that also means that scripts included with `virtual' could overwrite global variables; another problem). I will try the approach with an html proxy script but I'm not sure if that is really the behaviour to be expected from `virtual'.
