Millions of people use PHP and about 99% of them use includes, so, let's assume most people don't have such problems. It may be frustrating now but you'll be screaming Eureka before you know 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 a strange looking error and looks like you (the web server) lacks permission to view example.php which is why it says 'Unknown on line 0' as it lacks permissions to know much else. Being that I didn't even think Windows had permissions (or at least permissions that matter here), I have no clue how to solve that or if it's the problem. But, the above error has nothing to do with includes. Note: example.php dies on line 0. > This is example.php which resides in d:\websites\project\poll.

They are both > in the same directory, the spelling is coreect etc, etc. .***** [snip] What's your include_path set to? If you want to do relative includes you'll want a . in it. Please run the following in the poll directory:: var_dump(ini_get('include_path')); But anyway, includes doesn't look like your problem here. Regards, Philip
