[SOLVED] Conflicting PHP?

[scferg]

I have 2 PHP files used on my page. One is to pull information from my forum, and the other is to show my news. When one file code in included in the code, that function works fine, but once the other code is added, the page renders and a blank document. I'm assuming they're are functions that both of them use...but I used UltraCompare Professional to see if there was, but nothing matched in both documents. So, I really need help because both functions are vital to my site. I've included both file codes in case any of you PHP geniuses know why the heck the two files are not cooperating with each other.

$cutepath =  __FILE__;
$cutepath = preg_replace( "'\\\show_news\.php'", "", $cutepath);

require_once("$cutepath/inc/functions.inc.php");
require_once("$cutepath/data/config.php");

// If we are showing RSS, include some need variables.
if($template == 'rss'){
   include("$cutepath/data/rss_config.php");
}

if($HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_ACCEPT"] or $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET"] or $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_ACCEPT_ENCODING"] or $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["HTTP_CONNECTION"]){ /* do nothing */ }

Umm....it says my message exceeds the maximum length, so I'll post the other code in a reply. Sorry.

Err...the second file alone is too many characters. How can I show it to anybody?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

attach everything as a zip file under "additional options".

Is there some other PHP function (instead of the include) to include PHP files, so that they wouldn't interfere with each other?

[scferg]

Nevermind...I fixed it.
