Hi,
When using the include() or require() it takes the file and inserts it into the file the function is in. Is there any alternative which allows it to run from the actually location?

I don't want to use frames if i don't have to no inline frames but i may have to.

If the included (required) file has no display details then the file would just run. If the included (required) file has display properties then include it where you want it to display in your html order

What are you trying to do?

im trying to install this login system on my site called ALS.

I want to include my main page and then the login page below it.

This is an example what I have got:

<?php

include(\"games_raw.php\");
<br>
include(\"login.php\");
?>

It runs fine on my computer but it doesn't work on my friends computers.
Display Details??

I take you are uploading these files to your web host first.

Place something like echo "i'm here"; in the login.php page to see if it is there.
Just a note, if you have session details (ie starting a session on login) that part will have to be above the rest or you'll get errors.

i have got the files uploaded to my host. I've only just started PHP, that's why i used an already made system.

I am going to try more ways before resulting to editing the code.

thanks anyways
