[TruthInSatire]

can you assign an included file to a variable? if so how?

None: it works in everyone else’s office, it must work in yours too.

What are you trying to do, include a file with a variable or assign a file name to a variable?

if you are trying dynamic includes, it won't work. you can sort of fake with server.execute and call out another page (or snippet as the case may be)...

some examples:

i was just wondering if it were possable to
do something like:
variableOne = includedPageOne
(includedPageOne would be for example a counter script. it adds one to the hit counter then has the number of hits.)
then to display the number of hits something like a
response.write(variableOne)

I know it wouldn't work like that but something similar? How many software developers does it take to change a light bulb?

includes are done before the code, simple reason why they can't be a variable. but the server.execute method will allow you to dump a page in if and when needed...
