Using include - works/doesn't work - See Example

[scuba_]

Hello,

Dan here, n2tboard..

 

OK, this should be simple,

but makes ZERO sense to me.

 

I am going to link you to several identical files with different names.

 

All work and one doesn't.

 

I just can not believe that it works as long as the file name isn't "index.php"

 

LINKS:

WORKS: index2.php

WORKS: indexYEAAA.php

WORKS: thisworks.php

WORKS: really.php

WORKS: whatToDoNow.php

DOES NOT WORK: index.php

menu.html sets a cookie that expires immediately for testing purposes.

The window with the yellow border should disappear in 20 seconds.

 

Forget about the POP-UP though, you can tell if it works or not, by scrolling down, if the menu follows (floats), then we are good..

Once in a while it will work, then I'll click "HOME" (which links to index.php) and then now menu, no pop-up.

 

Any ideas?

 

Does this ring a bell to anyone?

 

Thank you for any light you can shed on this.

I know there may be some poor PHP here, but it works, all except for the different file names.

The only thing i can suggest is trying to "Strip" pieces of code out of the file until you can isolate which is causing this.
