As for that absolute thing, I think Windows and UNIX prase this differently. Windows will include a absolute path from the document root but UNIX includes it from the root / . In addition to the above post I have used a work around to this so it will always call from the document root no matter what platform you use. <?php $docroot = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; ?> <?php require_once("$docroot/subdir/phpfile.php"); ?> Just set the varable $docroot to the doc root then begin the require or include with $docroot and it will include from the document root all the time. (I use Windows 2K Pro running Apache 2 for testing but the production server is UNIX running Apache 1.36 and this seems to work)
