I can't get a call to an external php scrip to execute, it jst lists
the code in the page rather than run it. If I place the code directly
into the page it runs fine. As the code is a db connect string I dont
want in an external php that is called as an when required.
Within the base page I have tried:
<?php
include("con.php");
other php in-line code
?>
and
<?php
require("con.php");
other php in-line code
?>
All that happens is it echo's the contents of con.php then the rest
fails as there is no db connection. I'm fairly new to this, but not
programming. To be honest the google pages I have pulled up have been
no help, has anyone any idea what I am doing wrong.

You don't post the contents of "con.php" but I'd dare say you are
omitting the PHP delimiters: <?php ... ?>
«When a file is included, parsing drops out of PHP mode and into HTML
mode at the beginning of the target file, and resumes again at the end.
For this reason, any code inside the target file which should be
executed as PHP code must be enclosed within valid PHP start and end tags.»

That was it, I knew it had to be something stupid! I was foolish
enough to think that having invoked the <?php code block the include
would be interpreted as php implicitly.
Thanks for helping out while I still have some hair on my head.
Rob.

....also get into the habit of using require_once or include_once instead
of require or include unless you specifically want to include it in more
than one place in the script.
