If abc.php contains the function doit(), then in the main file, just call doit($myvariable) as though it were in the main file. If abc.php has code which is not in a function, it will be able to "see" the variables in the main file. Think of it like this. Imagine that you take abc.php, and cut and paste it into your main file, as you would in Word, or an editor. That is the way that it behaves. -- Pete Clark Sunny Andalucia http://hotcosta.com/Andalucia.Spain
