hiding an error / include Q:

If for example, I have in an include:
<?php foreach ($social_column_picsRecords as $record): ?>


<?php foreach ($record['image'] as $upload): ?>
<img src="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>" width="<?php echo $upload['width'] ?>" height="<?php echo $upload['height'] ?>" alt="" />
<?php endforeach ?>
<?php endforeach ?>

at the top of the page i am including this on, i need:


list($social_column_picsRecords, $social_column_picsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'social_column_pics',
));

Can that list code go in the include somewhere instead? It kind of puts a damper on the include convenience.

Also, if the top list code is not in the include file and missing from the page its loading into, how can I hide the error? I would rather just not display it to the visitor and visually realize my mistake when viewing the page.


thanks.
