Using "php -f"? Or from a web page? Is this on a local host? Or at a provider's site? Is "/usr/services/vux" an alias or symbolic link for "/data/25/2/158/91/2484743/user/2721122"? I have also been using $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] for web pages fi=or many years. There was no problem at all with the transition from php 5.x to 7.x. I suspect something else that is causing the change of string responses. -- James Moe jmm-list at sohnen-moe dot com Think.
