I would add that we should work with upstream to make sure that include paths are not hard-coded throughout the app and are instead managed in a central location (per-app) that can be easily changed by installers or packagers. I have seen a number of PHP webapps that completely fail in this regard. Another thing to watch out for is apps that modify the included libraries, sometimes without mentioning it in documentation. PHP's low barrier to entry results in a lot of ugly things. -- Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64@xxxxxxxxx http://n-man.com/ LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/nman64 Have I been helpful?
