Christopher: I can guess two reasons:
a) You new directory has the same name as the directory in which php is installed - regardless of where it sits on the system (true for windows). Sounds odd, but I ran into this problem when I was goofing around on my development box and called a http docs directory "php." All of a sudden, nothing in that directory was parsed. I have no idea if this is documented or not. b) Your server is not configured to parse documents in that directory. Without more information, I could only suggest you consult the appropriate manual on how to configure your web server. I use Apache/PHP as a "DSO" for development on windoze and linux, and this is an easy thing to change in both of those environments. -db Christopher Joseph wrote: > Apologies for xposting. > > Also for irrelevence > I have three different php applications running on my web site in thre > different directories.
