Re: Function declaration and use

As a guess I think it's because you're using the url file handler to open the file and not the direct path. Try switching the include reference to be the fully qualified path to the file instead of the httpd url to the file. Reason being I'm guessing is that for some reason you don't have proper access to pull that url at the httpd level where as if you told php3 to go fetch it directly off the disk you'ld be able to grab it. While you're at it, check the permissions of the file are readable by user your php script runs as. -- Scott On Sun, Sep 24, 2000 at 04:45:27PM -0400, Matthew Harrell wrote: > > Hi, > I'm new to PHP so maybe this is much easier than I'm making it.
