PHP Include - Help

so basically... if you have something included in one php file.. and your including the same thing in the parent file it'll be used twice. This drags down the performance of your scripts.
E.g.:
file1.php:
config.php
file3.php
here you see that config.php is included in file3.php & file1.php.
If you use require_once instead than it'll only be used once
E.g.:
file1.php:
PHP:
<?php
include("config.php");
// some stuff below
?>config.php
PHP:
<?
// stuff in here
?>file3.php
PHP:
include("file1.php");
include("config.php");here you see that config.php is included in file3.php & file1.php.
If you use require_once instead than it'll only be used once
only joined to let you know that its saying it cant open file because the other php and the db file used are called as if they are in the same directory as the floodbox.php.
youre callin the floodbox.php correctly if you get cant open file. its just that now when the script is running is looking for $file=config.php when it should be looking for $file=./floodboxdirectory/config.php
the easy solution is copy everything in your floodbox directory to the directory of the page youre displaying it on. you dont need the index.html file from the floodbox folder though. then use
<?php require_once('floodbox.php'); ?>
to call the floodbox.
hope this helps you out.
