Including multiple php file using include

[aswathip]

When i tried to include multiple files using include() it didn't work as expected.

catagorization.php includes the following code

 include("ajax_catagorization.php"); 
 include("categorization_total.php"); 

This way it does not work. But if only one file is included it works properly

Can anybody please help me to solve this?

thanks

Do you get any errors? The code you posted *should* work.

Silly question, but none of those files exit() or anything like that? As it has already been said, you can include as many files as required. Some of my pages have about 20 include's with no html. The only thing I can think of is checking each file for errors that might be stopping it and not outputting an error.

Put an echo statement at the bottom of the first and at the top of the second and see if they print.

you could use FF and then check the generated source on the resultant page, also are the paths correct for the files and the spelling. It's always worth double checking, I've been caught out myself on that one.

Thanks for those replies

I tried my best to clear that error. I tried with echo also.
Now what i did is,
the function that i wanted from categorization_total.php i included in this page also. This avoided the necessity to include that page. And i am sure that this is never a good coding technique.
