I was stumped when originally reading your question. I guess I glossed over the fact that you weren't using an absolute path for the log file. the problem makes sense - the CWD is the directory of the script that was called, but during the startup/shutdown phases of php there is no script, the CWD is then whatever the CWD is of the process that started php - apache in this case. additionally some code may change the CWD and there maybe countless of other factors that could effect it. I suggest always using absolute paths - of only to avoid little mind-benders like this. :-) > > Rob > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
