Accutually, you _can_ return from included files, see manual for more info on that.. Why it doesn't work, is because the script will include the generated HTML from simples.php, which is probably nothing.. Meaning there will be no return statement,, And when there's no return in the file, include() will return the status of the include (true or false, 1 or 0).. To make that work, try to rename simples.php to simples.txt and include it.. Cause then it wont be parsed by the server before PHP gets it.. Hope it makes sense.. For both of you, look at this page: http://php/manual/en/function.include.php#AEN5536 -- // DvDmanDT MSN: dvdmandt¤hotmail.com Mail: dvdmandt¤telia.com "B.A.T.
