Sorry, I have this in an .htaccess file for example: php_value auto_prepend_file ../../lib/matrix.php This contains global data/functions, etc. When I run a script within the folder where this .htaccess files lives, I get php errors of undefined classes. If I simply add an include("../../lib/matrix.php"); to each file, everything works so I know the .htaccess isn't doing anything. Here is what is in the apache conf file: <Directory "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs"> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All </Directory> I simply what it to use any and all .htaccess files. Thanks!
