Re: url vs dirname(__FILE__)

I trying to create an absolute path to include scripts and images in another directory.

These are two different things, but there is a relationship in the sense that URLs are translated to filesystem paths using document root: http://host/path/to/script.php => [document root]/path/to/script.php I think it's pretty important to understand the difference as well as the relationship. Once you do, your question might go away. Hope that helps. Chris -- Chris Shiflett Brain Bulb, The PHP Consultancy http://brainbulb.com/
