Thanks. That works. Would WWW_ROOT still work properly if I ever made any changes to the .htaccess setup, moved my webroot directory, or changed servers? I think all I would need to do in that case is to set the correct path in app/webroot/index.php, rather than adjusting file_get_contents in the controllers.

Hence the need for a new constant, WWW_ROOT. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
