Hi Rob, I tried that: $there = realpath("./includes/PEAR/"); //ini_set('include_path', './includes/PEAR/'); ini_set('include_path', $there); require_once 'Info/Info.php'; This results in the following error: Warning: main(PEAR.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in d:\devel\html\site \php\includes\PEAR\PEAR\Remote.php on line 21 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'PEAR.php' (include_path='d:\devel\html\site\php\includes\PEAR') in d:\devel\html\site\php\includes\PEAR\PEAR\Remote.php on line 21 What have I done wrong? -Erich-
