daz, This should be easy enough. First, have you checked to see if register_globals is on or off on your local machine? It defaults to off, so $DOCUMENT_ROOT would become $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].
Check a phpinfo() screen and see what variables are different between your host and your local box. Just a simple file with only the following line: <?php phpinfo(); ?> will suffice. Another thing you could do is to declare a php include directory and stuff all your include files into there. -Dash On Sat, 14 Jun 2003, dj dust wrote: > hiya > > I've been tearing my hair out for 2 days now trying to get this to work and > I'm sure the answer has gotta be pretty simple... > > I'm using PHP for the first time and have got some pages uploaded to my live > site and they work like a dream - the problem is that they won't work > locally using PHPdev. > > Every page on site uses the following include code on every page: > > <?php > include($DOCUMENT_ROOT .
