premiso Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I would stray away from .inc and do .inc.php instead to hide your code. As far as why it does not work, no clue. Tested something similar on my system and it worked fine.

Flames Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 because he is including the wrong file maybe? he has an s infront of the file name and an uncapitalised letter in the include path.

premiso Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 because he is including the wrong file maybe? he has an s infront of the file name and an uncapitalised letter in the include path. If that was the case a fatal error would display, however he may have errors turned off, but yea. I do not know how he is really naming that file.
