Me beeing a n00b in PHP I tried a totally different approach. Beeing an ASP developer to I am used to be able to use relative paths when using include so I began to device a method of beeing able to use this kind of including. Allthough many of the methods mentioned above would suit most users my way of doing would be: $web_root = substr($PATH_TRANSLATED,0,strrpos($PATH_TRANSLATED,"\\")); This will get your root directory for the current website/project then you can simply add the relative path to it by using: <? include($web_root . "\includes\functions.php"); ?> -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+17701 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+17701 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+17701
