Re: Re: IIS/ISAPI require suddenly stops working

ahh yes... this strange behavior is due to security tests for 'include_path' and 'open_basedir' in PHP. It tries to be secure, but its a bit overzealous in denying access to files, IMHO... although most web site hosting companies probably love that fact ;) I think this file is not allowed because its in a subfolder of the current directory, and you neglected to reference it relatively, like this: include(".\smarty\Smarty.class.php"); Or perhaps you are referencing it properly, but you have slashes instead of backslashes. If all else fails, try setting this in your php.ini file: include_path=".;C:\Inetpub\public_html\smarty" Be sure to use backslashes, and put the value in quotes, otherwise is might not work on all platforms / web servers. -- Brian 'Bex' Huff bex@stellent.com Phone: 952-903-2023 Fax: 952-829-5424 > > Hello, > > I'm using PHP 4.2.3 on IIS as an ISAPI module (for testing only).
