Re: include statement giving me hives! - help

Hi,

when you call your script, is $point defined somewhere ?
if $point is empty, you'll get an empty string for $links_include and
include $links_include will not work.

yes, I should have mentioned: $point is defined in the URL string
http://something.com/index.html?point=12

That's not the point (pun intended). Is $point empty (YES/NO)? Or does it
contain what you expect it to contain?
