Re: [PHP4BETA] parsing error

That doesn't make sense. The error listed below has the entire path to the file that it is including which is correct. The only reason I get this error is because there is a syntax error in the class file itself. It makes no difference if I hard code the entire path for the require or use $DOCUMENT_ROOT to build the path. I still should get a syntax error listed in the class file, not the error failing to open the file. The file is there, and the path is correct.
