I had something like that ... one include file for all my database functions and another included in there for the database connection info. Eventually I found I had to use absolute paths (on Win2K) starting at d:/<etc> I do this in windows, but use system variables (e.g. $DOCUMENT_ROOT) for future proofing. I'm hoping this will help if I ever get a proper (i.e. Linux) server. I'm writing to Santa ... Tim Ward HTH!!

The only problem is that 'z.php' has to be aware that it's in 'dir' directory.
