Eyzen Medina, sheeta laputa,

Hi when you sais another block you are refering to another script file?
So i will give you my experience in that.
If your srcipt have to be necesary in another file you can use various 
method.
The include or require method like C you can include libraries, this 
automatically loads your php code and execute.
Browse the php help for more information.
Or use the function [file].
You can use this function for example, you need execute a script in 
another domain, like a Web Services.
$Ret_Values = file('http://www.mynewserver.com/myphp_page.php');
So in $Ret_Values you will get an array with each line of the executed 
script.
In the script file you can writte.
print 'Some Test\n\r';
print 'this work\n\r';
You will get in $Ret_Values
$Ret_Values[0] -- 'Some Test'
$Ret_Values[1] -- 'this work'
I used this a lot of.
The contra it's that's calling the script from a web server and you 
can't use sessions, cookies or other related clients usefull functions.
Because the call was made from your web server not for a browser client.
I hope tha's help you
