So, for windows, you could have something like this: $_CONF['path'] = 'C:/inetpub/wwwroot/site'; for example. Then you just use that to build your includes. If you want to include the file 'include.php' that's in the root of your web site, then you can use include($_CONF['path'] . '/include.php'); from any file on your site, no matter what directory or subdirectory it's in. ---John W. Holmes... PHP Architect - A monthly magazine for PHP Professionals.
