This should work, but I have one question about the format of that. this way I can make sure I do things right (getting a parse error right now) what did you mean by "include_path"? /path/to/local/includes is just the path to the default includes folder? and is include_path just the path to the includes folder that I use. And with this, do I use the URL, or the file path (what I get whenever I get errors) and thank you again
