Well, I may be misunderstanding you also, but here's some more info. Basically, there is the package called PHP-Nuke (www.phpnuke.org) and I have a smaller package MiG (www.tangledhelix.com/software/mig) and I have created a plugin "mode" for my package to be an add-on for PHP-Nuke. The issue was that the initial version dumped itself, potentially, in the root directory of the PHP-Nuke install. That doesn't work out very well because admittedly my installer likes to litter a bit. So the best thing to do is to have it in a subdirectory (such as {root}/mig/) so that I do not interfere with or trample on anything in the PHP-Nuke root directory. My script, when in compatibility mode, include()'s some PHP-Nuke standard files with very simple calls: if ($phpNukeMode) include("../header.php"); [... other stuff...] if ($phpNukeMode) include("../footer.php"); The problem is that header.php goes on to include other files itself, and it is assuming they'll be in "." or in include_path (neither of which is "../". So it doesn't work. Since I don't control the files I am including, there's nothing I can do to make them use a different path to include the files they are including. What I've done for now is leave the 'main' bit of my code in the PHP-Nuke root and isolate the rest of the package into a subdirectory. But ideally I would rather have everything of mine in a subdirectory, if possible. I hope that clears up any confusion from my earlier posts. -dan -- Dan Lowe <dan@tangledhelix.com> http://tangledhelix.com/ Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery? -George Carlin
