* What does include.php do?
* You mention it connects to the DB, what does it do with that connection?

* Oh, I just read it tracks people. If it doesn’t actually generate any output
for the browser, index.php is probably the best place to put it!

* But it’s not the same ? I don’t understand beacuse it doesn’t work on header.
this is the code of include:

* I’m not really sure, I’ve noticed that sometimes things don’t work when I put
them in header. I have a hunch that it’s because index.php is the “main page”,
and header.php gets included into it — but somehow has “lower privileges”.
* I’m not entirely sure of the mechanics, though.

* Is there a particular problem with putting your include at the bottom of index.
php?
* If it works, what’s the problem?

* It works but for me it’s not the best place, yesterday for example i have receive
another error…i have add the include in wp-blog-header.php and it works.
* Which is the best place to put it, now i have put it at the top…but i can include
better ?:

* I’m not really sure, to be honest. You might try putting it in index.php — the
one that lies in the root directory. Eg, if your blog was at example.com/blog,
put it in example.com/blog/index.php.
