# PHP include in Plugin function

 * I am creating a plugin and want to include my options pages, however when calling
   my function the option page remains blank regardless of the content I put into
   the included PHP page.
 * Is there a known issue with includes from a plugin function? or if not, I will
   triple-check my options.php code again.
 * Thanks.

 * Found the issue, WordPress doesn’t like it when you link to the full address 
   of a file from within a plugin, instead, using the relative path works.
 * However, I had to change my file names to more ..unique.. filenames as they were
   causing conflicts.
 * So, this works:
 *     ```
       function jpvg_options_screen(){
           include('jpvg_options.php');
       }
       ```
