Hi All,

Is it viable to run a particular php script (e.g : a.php) from inside other php script (e.g : b.php) ?

pls advise.

Thanks.

include(), require()

Hi Jcart,

thanks for your reply.

However, in my case I would need more control in executing the other script.

I will elaborate with simple pseudo code as follows :

if (condition a) run foo.php;
elseif (condition b) run bar.php;


thanks.

Whats your question? You can control the flow of your program using if() and else() and include() to appropriate file

Oops, I thought that include() & require() can only be specified at the beginning of the script...

Ok, so the following codes shoud work for my case. Please advise :

if (condition a) include("a.php");
elseif (condition b) include("b.php");

thanks.
