Crap. Good and bad news. So I hardcoded "/home/.pix/cwiltgen/coremessaging.com/index.php" and it worked every time. But then I hardcoded "/home/cwiltgen/coremessaging.com/index.php" (which is what $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] is returning) and *it* worked every time. So then I changed include($this->getSourceDirPath() . "index.php"); ...to... $foo = ($this->getSourceDirPath() . "index.php"); include($foo); ...and IT worked every time. So the problem appears to be related to using concatenation in my include statement (?). Odd. Many thanks for the response! -- Charles Wiltgen
