compiled PHP used: downloaded binary distribution for Win NT from www.php.net (Final version)

Problem:
The following example PHP script includes another PHP script:
<?
    require("settings.php3");
    ....
?>
I expect that settings.php3 is executed after inclusion, but instead PHP dumps it to output WITHOUT executing it. 
I could not find anything on that issue in the documentation, the FAQ, the mailing list and bug list. I belive this to be
a misbehaviour, since just including a file for output without processing is done by the readfile() function. I encountered
this behaviour with both the include() and require() statement, and also with the RC4 version.
So is this possibly only a bug in the binary distribution, or is it corrupted in some way?

Best regards,
Michael Woecherl

You are probably not putting your PHP statements inside
<?...?> tags in that settings.php3 file.
That was it - bug closed.
