For future reference it's generally a really bad idea to rely on assuming what the current directory will be, so you should always base directories off a known point such as the directory of the current script [dirname(__FILE__) or __DIR__ in 5.3+] or a globally defined absolute directory [which should also ideally come from dirname() or __DIR__]. -Stuart -- Stuart Dallas 3ft9 Ltd http://3ft9.com/
