One correction. The include('lib/test2.php') is actually a require_once('lib/test2.php'). That's why it quits and I don't get the third include.

you 100% sure your include_path is '.' ? just asking. also you mention a /www/lib and a /www/include dir - maybe thats the problem? maybe you can make the problem go away by setting include_path to '.:/www/include' or '.:/www/lib' I must say I think its overkill to use file_exists() on files you are going to require_once() - although no doubt there is a good reason to do it sometimes :-) it is odd though, file_exists() returns true yet the file cannot be included. -- any chocolate chips in this cookie jar care to enlighten the crumbs?

From the manual on 'include': "Files for including are first looked in include_path relative to the current working directory and then in include_path relative to the directory of current script. E.g. if your include_path is ., current working directory is /www/, you included include/a.php and there is include "b.php" in that file, b.php is first looked in /www/ and then in /www/include/." I have a file in my root dir (we'll call it /www) that includes the file /www/lib/test.php as follows: include('lib/test.php'); test.php looks like this: <? echo 'Inside first included file.'; if (file_exists('lib/test2.php')) echo 'This file exists.'; include('lib/test2.php'); echo 'Ending first included file.'; ?> /www/lib/test2.php exists. Whenever I run this, I get the first two echo statements, without getting the third one. The error log reports that it couldn't find lib/test2.php. If I take out the 'lib/' in the include statement, it works. According to the description from the manual, either way should work. Has anyone ever come across this problem before, and is there a config setting that causes it? I'm stumped here, and I refuse to go change all the code when from what I've read it should already be working. -- Rob
