Quote from the manual: "Handling Returns: It is possible to execute a return() statement inside an included file in order to terminate processing in that file and return to the script which called it. Also, it's possible to return values from included files. You can take the value of the include call as you would a normal function. This is not, however, possible when including remote files unless the output of the remote file has valid PHP start and end tags (as with any local file). You can declare the needed variables within those tags and they will be introduced at whichever point the file was included. " Therefore, it works as intended, and is not a fault of any kind.. The reason it doesn't work for the OP is that the script tries to include the generated output from the script on http://localhost/, which doesn't have any return keywords, and thats why.. If he rename the file he tries to include to .txt, it will work as he want it to.. http://php.net/manual/en/function.include.php - Example 11-7, and the text right above it.. -- // DvDmanDT MSN: dvdmandt¤hotmail.com Mail: dvdmandt¤telia.com "B.A.T.
