re: [PHP-WIN] include("remote host") under w2k problem

Sorry? I'm a little confused what you're saying. :-) I gather it works though? The email I sent may have been a bit mixed up, the answer kind of came to me as I was typing it, then I checked it to see if it worked and then sent it to you. I hope it's working for you OK! :) Ross -----Original Message----- From: Marek Wysmulek [mailto:marek@mail.dom] Sent: 01 November 2001 21:58 To: r.fleming@totalise.co.uk Cc: php-windows@lists.php.net Subject: PD: [PHP-WIN] include("remote host") under w2k problem Dear Ross.
