Their are two ways that come to mind. 1. Like Dan suggested, use the full path. 2. (I prefer this way), change your include_path setting either in your php.ini file, virtual host, .htaccess or in your script to include the base path for your web site "/srv/www/html/" and then you can call them by simply removing the leading slash from your existing calls.

    require 'Tools/tool1/tool1.php';
    require 'Tools/tool2/tool2.php';

Ok, I have changed my php.ini and restarted apache. My include_path is set to include_path = ".:/srv/www/html" but when I try from /srv/www/html/library/index.php: require '/Tools/dbtools/dbtool.php'; or require 'Tools/dbtools/dbtool.php'; or require '../Tools/dbtools/dbtool.php'; I get the error: require(/Tools/dbtools/dbtool.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory /srv/www/html/lib/index.php, line 10 require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/Tools/dbtools/dbtool.php' (include_path='.:/srv/www/html') /srv/www/html/lib/index.php, line 10 any thoughts? Am I missing something obvious?

Possibly that apache is chroot'ed. I know you said LAMP. But which OS/etc... Sometimes you can see from the cli if httpd is rooted. run 'ps aux | grep httpd' and see if httpd says anything about chroot -- Jim Lucas "Some men are born to greatness, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."
