global.php include issues

[jags2ooo]

I'm not a PHP PRO ---


I am currently using <?php
$curdir = getcwd ();
chdir('/home/xxxxxx/public_html/forum');
require_once('/home/xxxxxxx/public_html/forum/global.php');
?>

in order to allow ppl to login into vb from my main page (non vb)

but now i can not use simple include url (www.site.com?page=Staff)

<?php
$page = $_GET['page'];
if (!empty($page)) {
$page .= '.php';
i
else {
include('news.html');
}
?>


when i delete global.php from require it works fine >< does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.
