# ‘include’ doesn’t work in my-hacks.php

 * I’m finding that ‘include(“somefile.php”) ‘ doesn’t seem to work in my-hacks.
   php.
    I tried to use the acronymit.php script. Rather than include the entire
   script in my-hacks.php, I just put a line like this in my-hacks.php: include(‘
   acronymit.php’); and that didn’t work! However, when I took the entire contents
   of acronmyit.php and pasted them into my-hacks.php, it worked! Now I’m trying
   to get the style-switcher working, and it appears that the same problems is arising.
   File permissions are 0644 on my-hacks.php and on acronymit.php, and on wp-style-
   switcher.php. What could I be doing wrong?

 * Sounds like you’re suggesting that I include <?php …. ?> around the include statement
   in the my-hacks.php file. You know, I tried that. I could’a sworn I tried it!
   
   But I gave your suggestion another try, and it worked! so, thanks! Now to figure
   out why style-switcher won’t work….

 * is acronymit.php in the same folder as my-hacks.php? if it’s in the root, use/
   acronymit.php. if it’s somewhere else, use path/to/acronymit.php.
