I haven't had any problem with it, but I've only done simple stuff. Could you please post what you're trying to include.

Oh, and moving to vB Questions I guess...

Here is the Code i wanna insert

<?
include ("/home/hosted/krawall/dfhq/htdocs/phpdata/useronline/include/dbconf.php3");
[email protected]_connect($db_server,$db_username,$db_passwort);
@mysql_select_db($db_database,$handler);
$zeit = time();
$ip = getenv(REMOTE_ADDR);
$file = $PHP_SELF;
[email protected]_query("INSERT INTO $db_table VALUES ('$zeit','$ip','$file')",$handler);
@mysql_close();
?>

It's a script that shows the total number of users currently on the site.

You don't need the <? and ?> - everything in your header is PHP code.

Just a little coding suggestion, BTW. I'd use these 2 lines:
[code]$handler=mysql_pconnect($db_server,$db_username,$db_passwort);
$dbused = mysql_select_db($db_database,$handler);[/code]I'm not a PHP master - what was the "@" for anyway?

When everything in the header is php code, why isn't there a "print" or "echo" statement before the other html code then?
I have inserted the code without the <? ?>'s and now it displayed all the code on the page instead of executing it. By the way i don't know what the @'s mean, but the code works fine on all other pages except the forum.

[quote]When everything in the header is php code, why isn't there a "print" or "echo" statement before the other html code then?[/quote]You don't wanr to echo anything out, because it will appear above the <html>. You want to assign everything to $header.

[quote]I have inserted the code without the <? ?>'s and now it displayed all the code on the page instead of executing it.[/quote]Uhh... duh! It helps if you turn on PHP code executing in the header.

How?

But how does all that information get assigned to $header to be displayed??

I can't figure how to get all the contents of an include, and includes in that include, to all get assigned to $header so that they aren't above the <html>

Any thoughts??

Thanks a lot Ed, i turned php code on, changed the header into php code and it works now :D

The @ sign before a function simply supresses errors. You would then need to do an "or die("some error here"); if you wanted it do display an error.
