Re: help with shared php.ini

I just tested this on my box. I don't have safe mode on, hope you don't either. My include path is "/home/httpd/php/:." Under /home/kjj I have public_html/ and phpinclude/. From /home/kjj/public_html/temp.php, I did include("../phpinclude/temp.lib"); and it worked fine. You should be able to do something similar to keep your includes outside of your html area without having to resort to absolute paths. "John W.
