Hello Nick, i have set up a neat demonstration for you. -------------------------------------------------------- ---hans.inc--------------------------------------------- <?php class hans { var $name = "peter"; function hans() //constructor { echo $this->name; } } ?> ---peter.php--------------------------------------------- <?php // include("hans.inc"); remarked bec. we wanna use // auto_prepend class georg extends hans { var $name = "andrea"; } $test = new georg; ?> ---httpd.conf (or php.ini)------------------------------- auto_prepend_file "/wherever/it/is/hans.inc" --------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------- This "Setup" won´t work with the accellerator. If you don´t use auto_prepend and include "hans.inc", it works...
