Thanks for helping with these apparently fundamental concepts (I do C++, C, Java, etc, this web-stuff is new to me.)
I am able to get the first tier of include to work, but the second does not seem to make its variables available to the parent.:
index.php:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
Hello World<br>
<?php
session_start();
include('../../cgi-bin2/hello.php');
echo "hello " . $username . " from top<br>";
?>
from html
</html>
hello.php:
<?php
require_once('db.php');
echo "hello from ".$username." bottom<br>";
$username="Alex";
?>
db.php:
<?php
$username="user";
$password="pass";
$database="test";
$host="localhost";
echo "hello from ".$username." db.php<br>";
?>
Here is the output from accessing index.php:
Hello World
Notice: Undefined variable: username in C:\xampp\cgi-bin2\hello.php on line 3
hello from bottom
hello Alex from top
from html
NOW what am I doing wrong?
