I take it line 16 is the line with the include() statement?  It looks
properly formatted.  Read the first paragraph on
http://www.php.net/manual/function.include.php.  It may apply to you,
though I'm not familiar with the configuration option mentioned.  Also,
make sure you aren't missing a ";" or "}" or something similiar on a line
before the include() statement.

Scott, have you done any testing to ensure that you can include a file
using a URL?  Create a PHP script that only has an include() statement and
include a URL that just has something like "<b>Bold text</b>" in it.  If
it doesn't work then you probably are just unable to include a file using
a URL.  I just tested on a RaQ2 running PHP4.0.1pl2 and I'm able to
include a file using a URL.  I never tried using PHP3.  As an alternative
you can use fopen() and fgets() to achieve the same thing as include().

No.  If include() isn't working as desired I don't think it's RaQ-related.

It won't work for a few others, but that's because they weren't introduced
until PHP4.

include() does work when using a local path instead of a URL, right?
