Re: Include fails when "./" is in front of file name

Here's the error I get: *Warning*: include(.\file.inc.php) [function.include<http://www.emsplannertest.com/function.include>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in * C:\Inetpub\httpdocs\test.php* on line *3* *Warning*: include() [function.include<http://www.emsplannertest.com/function.include>]: Failed opening '.\file.inc.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;.\includes;.\pear') in *C:\Inetpub\httpdocs\test.php* on line *3* This works fine on my old server which is running PHP 4.3.9. I honestly feel like I'm overlooking some stupid tiny thing. Are my permissions correct? Is it possible to debug this and look at the full path of file.inc.php that PHP is trying to load? Thanks!
