Peter, Perhaps you are referring to these directive in php.ini: ; Automatically add files before or after any PHP document. auto_prepend_file = auto_append_file = David Peter Beckman <beckman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> 04/05/2005 03:39 PM To: PHP-DB Mailing List <php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> cc: Subject: Pre-Include File -- Global Include Pre/Post by filename Back in 2000 I remember there being a file that could be created in the include path that, if existed, would be called and executed before any other PHP script was executed. There was also a script that if named correctly and put in the include path, would execute AFTER the called script was executed. Was this depreciated, or does it still exist? I can't remember what to call it, and I can't seem to find the right page in the manual. Any help?
