I do something extremely similar in when I program in PHP as the method it handles relative paths for includes is a nightmare. I find it somewhat longwinded though because you still need to maintain a current relative position unless you move to a completely dynamic URL solution using CGI vars.

However, I would never HARD CODE that value as I agree, why change everything later when some programming will take care of the trick. .......................

I don't like the idea of rebuilding a crashed server and trying to get all the mappings in place before anything works. That decision also has a lot to do with the structure of the applications here. !k ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:262300 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
