Hi,
In order to keep configuration files outside the web root I use:
include_once('../config.php');
This used to work also when running php scripts from the command line.
Now I have a new server and I get "no such file or directory" when
using this construct from the command line.
I have worked around this by doing this:
$main_folder = realpath(dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']).'/..');
include_once($main_folder . '/config.php');
The original, simpler construct still works when calling the page from
a web browser, just not when I run it from the command line.
The new server has a more recent version of PHP (4.3.4). I don't have
the php version of the old server but it was on RedHat 9 - now I'm on
Mandrake 10.
What could be the difference that caused this?

cli php uses path relative to your current directory, cgi php uses path
relative to the executing script.
You can use
ini_set('include_path', realpath(dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']).'/'));
at the beginning of your script as workaround
