I was wondering how php was parsed (i use Apache), specifically how included files were parsed. For example if i called and included file with the extension .php (or any other for that matter), will the include file be parsed as part of the original php script or will it be set aside to be added to the clients html file.
I have the latest major build of PHP and am running it as a Apache module, (please excuse if i have used poor terminology, im new to this) with the latest version of Apache on Mandrake 9.
