Here's the error I get: Warning: include(.\file.inc.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Inetpub\httpdocs\test.php on line 3 Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '.\file.inc.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;.\includes;.\pear') in C:\Inetpub\httpdocs\test.php on line 3

    If you're going to use Windows-style paths, try escaping your

slashes and see what happens. <?php include(".\\file.inc.php"); ?>

People seem to be missing the point here. These are PUBLIC applications that are failing to work for Noah. He should not need to re-write PHPMyAdmin in order to get it to work? Next people will be saying that we should re-write PHP if it does not work for us. Noah - I know that some 'security' has been added to the include function, but I'm not sure why you are having problems. I'm running applications on windows and Linux and the "./otherdir/" select is working fine. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://home.lsces.co.uk/lsces/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://home.lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
