time for yet another stupid question

[amykhar]

I am working on a page that uses a template. The script has a series of ob_get_contents(); and ob_cleans() in which it imports other scripts.

My problem is that if more than one of these scripts imports global.php, things blow up. But, if I remove the global.php call from all but one of them, things don't work.

How can I include more than one script that itself includes global.php?

bumping out of mild desperation.

In these scripts, instead of just doing:

require('./global.php');

use this:

if (!function_exists("getpostbit")) {
	include('./global.php');
}

This will include global.php only if it's not already included (we check by finding out if a function called getpostbit() is defined already).

Thank you. You're a doll.

Yup. I had the same problem trying to get a clock and other scripts included. I had to find away around the problem also. Includes can be tricky.
