Re: [PHP]include question, WHY doesn't this work...
the lib directory is under the root directory, or the www directory, where all the normal files have been put. i figured out that the include worked better when I specified the entire system path. chris - Original Message - From: Unni <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Chris Cocuzzo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, July 23, 2001 3:52 PM Subject: Re: [PHP]include question, WHY doesn't this work... > Is the lib direcotory under the working directory, I mean, if your > program is excuting under temp directory, the lib directory has to be > below temp directory.

Re: [PHP]include question, WHY doesn't this work...
Is the lib direcotory under the working directory, I mean, if your program is excuting under temp directory, the lib directory has to be below temp directory. If you are running this program from the root directory then lib has to be below root directory. Your code looks good to me. One more thing I can think of is, do you read access to lib directory, just curious.
