Sorry for the cross-post, but I'm getting a bit desperate here. I've read through the archives of both lists and tried the suggestions there, but nothing is helping. I continue to get: Warning: Failed opening '\\host\share\domain-name\htdocs\formmail.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in Unknown on line 0 I even created a page that had no PHP, just to see if I could get it to load (trying to remove the chance of coding errors), but got the same problem. include_path is blank, though I've tried several different options of pointing to the Web root, the PHP directory and using the "." -- all with the same result. doc_root is pointed to the Web root -- \\host\share\. user_dir is blank extension_dir is pointed to the location on the Web server where the extensions are located -- "c:\php4\extensions\". I should point out that the Web files are located on a separate machine, but the account that WebSite runs under has rights to that location. Honestly, I've not been able to complete understand the include_path. Why do I need it? What am I including? Help on this would be greatly appreciated as the client is getting toasted that this is not running. Thank you.
