voodoo it is.

quite the opposite effect.

well, that kind of negates the benefit of having a head.php...don't it. you
should typically include everything up to, and including, <body> ... the
rest is your page specific output.
define whatever you need at the top of the script (variables that are used
in head.php), then do the require/include. your argument about the page name
and file name is mute. even if you change the file name yet have a variable
like $pageTitle that you work from, i bet your script won't morph into
something different than its original purpose...i.e. Pictures. but again,
see my arguments in the previous post. this is bad news.
