thx justin and aleks I don't have access to the php.ini file, its on a remote host. I asked if they had a directory to put the includes. They don't. I solved the problem (for this client) by placing everything in one directory. They're only about 20-25 files so it really doesn't matter (except for bothering my sense of order). Still, I'm sure I'll have other clients that in which this will not be an acceptable solution. -- gil justin, thx for the point email clients. I'll keep it in mind. > -----Original Message----- > From: Justin Patrin [mailto:papercrane@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Tuesday, January 13, 2004 5:27 PM > To: php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: php includes > > > Mayo wrote: > > > I'm new to php (I've been in the CF world the last few years) > and have a > > basic question regarding includes: > > > > On my dev box (a fancy term for laptop) I have the following include: > > > > <?php include ("navTop.php"); ?> > > > > This doesn't work on the client's site.
