Hi Jeff-- A better solution would be to put your include directory outside your Apache document tree. That way if your Apache config goes crazy insane, stops executing .php files, and instead displays them as plain text, your .inc files still won't be available via URLs. And since .inc files often include things like db usernames and passwords, that would be a Good Thing. michael
