If you do, then that would be where you'd run the command "which php". On Linux/Mac OS X, you can ssh via a terminal. On Windows, a program like PuTTY will do the trick. Link for PuTTY download (just in case): http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html Syntax for ssh: ssh <user account>@<hostname/IP> Once you have an ssh session open to your remote server, running "which php" will return the remote path for php. Hope that helps. -- Joe Henry www.celebrityaccess.com jhenry@celebrityaccess.com
