PHP4: php_value include_path "./:/path/to/your/home/dir/:/some/other/path/" PHP3: php3_include_path "./:/path/to/your/home/dir/:/some/other/path/" > Is the include_path path relative to the file that is calling it, relative > to server_root, or document_root or something else? Relative to file that is doing the include/require, or absolute if the path starts with '/'. Similarly, include/require can bypass include_path by using full path starting with '/' > I set a couple of variables in one file and then required another by HTTP > which prints these varibles and the variables didn't print out.

Should work. include/require just copies&pastes the source in there, and then does it. require does it once only, include does it each time the line is encountered. > I want to have one create_iim.inc in a common location. That would be easiest by having the path to create_iim.inc be in your include_path, *OR* just use require '/full/path/to/create_iim.inc'; -- Richard Lynch | If this was worth $$$ to you, buy a CD US Customer Support Director | from one of the artists listed here: Zend Technologies USA | http://www.L-I-E.com/artists.htm http://www.zend.com | (this has nothing to do with Zend, duh!)
