I suspect that the advice to use absolute paths is somebody NOT understanding the include_path system, and just "giving up" on it, possibly combined and confused with not using an unconstrained variable in the path... Nothing irks me more than stupidly-designed software that hard-codes paths into includes so I can't move all their include files OUT of the web-tree without a lot of grief. More than a few software packages will not get installed for my clients, no matter how nice the software might seem, until this is fixed, because I just don't have the time to fix their mistakes. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
