It would not do that anyways. /somefile.php will be relative to the root of the filesystem, but if you're in a chroot then "root of the filesystem" will be different from the actual root. > why not a separate command like include_webhome or include_webdir Add four more of those functions? No thank you. Use $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
