What does that mean? Are you telling us that /home/siren/includes/ is within document root? If it's not, do you link to it from within document root? Do not store includes within document root. Using .htaccess can prevent the direct access, but you're still taking an unnecessary risk. Chris -- Chris Shiflett Brain Bulb, The PHP Consultancy http://brainbulb.com/
