Re: php and apache path...

In your config file (or at the top of each page) you should establish what your document root is: $docroot = "/usr/home/sitename/"; # or whatever Then do something like include("{$docroot}inc_dir/file.inc"); Or maybe you specify an include directory in your config: $incdir = "/usr/home/sitename/inc/"; # or whatever Then do something like include("{$incdir}file.inc"); Or maybe write a small function that allows you to do it all transparently... maybe something like myinclude('file.inc'). As Dan has pointed out, the other option would be to use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']: $docroot = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; include("{$docroot}myfile.inc"); I don't believe it can be done with ~/ or ./ or something... haven't found it yet!!
