Makes sense. No, I didn't because I thought includes worked the way they do
in C, C++, Java, etc. Looking at the my other include for db stuff (that
was set up in Connections in Dreamweaver) it has the bracketing. What is
interesting is I use that code as:

<?php require_once("dbLoginStuff.php"); ?>

and the dbLoginStuff.php has

<?php stuff ?>

I didn't notice this before, but this would give

<?php <?php stuff ?> ?>

if it worked like other includes.

Thanks.
