So, I have this code in a php file called testing.php: $incl = '/webs/www.zootboy.com/sl/sql.inc'; if(!is_readable($incl)) die('ERROR: MySQL Include file does not exist??!?'); require $incl or die('MySQL page not found. Unable to continue.'); When I run the code in command line, it outputs this: [root@localhost ~]# php -f /webs/www.zootboy.com/sl/testing.php PHP Warning: require(1): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /webs/www.zootboy.com/sl/testing.php on line 13 PHP Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '1' (include_path='/var/php/inc/') in /webs/www.zootboy.com/sl/testing.php on line 13 I have no idea what's going on. All the files have 777 perms. -- --Zootboy
