Hi, > .. This is precisely what I do, albeit my file is called config.php, and not init.php. Not that it makes a jot of difference. This file is used to setup the environment, so that way everything I commonly need is available simply by including one file. One thing to note though is that a database connection is not established by default. I used to get a lot of comment spam on my blog and because it was needlessly connecting to the database, it was bringing down the server. So now I simply use something like this to quickly and easily get a reference to a database object: $db = getDatabase(); Wunderbar. -- Richard Heyes HTML5 graphing: RGraph (www.rgraph.net - updated 3rd July) -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
