I went thru that page last night and the most promising seemed to
be 'REQUEST_URI', which is supposed to output, "The URI which was
given in order to access this page; for instance, '/index.html'."

However, both...

echo ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

and...

echo basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

....returned the name of the file it is in, the include 'child' file,
and not the actual page URL accessed; /index.php. I need the
include script to know if it is being run within index.php.

Again, thanks for racking your brain on this with me. I'm at a
total loss... :(

BTW, might you or anyone be able to help with understanding
'open_basedir restriction'? I received the following error when
trying to use the link() function...

link ("/index.php","/index_body.php");

Warning: link(): open_basedir restriction in effect.
File(/index.php) is not within the allowed path(s):
(/home/httpd/vhosts/jalanjones.com/httpdocs:/tmp) in
/home/httpd/vhosts/jalanjones.com/httpdocs/index_body.php on line 46

Thanks :)
