Re: path error while calling files

I think you want require 'daten/menu.data'; No, you can't go up two directories and back down, or you'd be able to go down into other people's web-sites, and that would be bad. You can go up only as far as your own site. -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out? Like Music?
