PATHS again.

I'm thinking maybe going with ASP or something, 'cause this path problem is just driving me insane. Everytime I think I have it - somthing else screws up. Why the hell can I not include a file that is in the same directory as the file that's calling it. Warning: Unknown(d:\websites\project\poll\example.php): failed to create stream: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 This is example.php which resides in d:\websites\project\poll. It's the entire file - 10 lines..... <?php include ("dbconnect.php"); **** this also resides in d:\websites\project\poll, so why am I getting the above error? They are both in the same directory, the spelling is coreect etc, etc. .***** if ($logged == "True") { echo 'Logged in as '.$_SESSION['email'].', <a href="logout.php">logout</a>'; } else { header('Location: login.php'); ****** This is also in the same directory ****** } ?> Sorry to keep harping on this, but I just don't get it - I have followed everyones instructions from this list, as well as trying 1000 other variations and still get the same errors every time. This can't be this damn hard. TIA
