include which one

i know this sounds like a stupid question lol, ok maybe it is one lol, but im perplexed here and i want to make sure the issue im having is not because of this..

question.. does it matter which file i include

i mean if i have a process file1 and i a process file2

inside of file1 i put include file 2

and that works exactly the same as

inside of file2 i put include file 1


its the same right..

but its one or the other i cant include them both at the same time to each other


let me explain alittle here..

in my file1 i have the post process that works fine, i sanatize and switch it over to $data ..

then i include the other file

at the top of the other file i have $data1 = $data

but its not grabbing the data, should i use $_REQUEST instead..

if its included it should act as if its resides in the the same file... i should just grab it if need it..

i got it, it really helps if you post the right array element value lol too funny
