Hi Jerry, not sure I follow your response (i.e. its rather ambigious).
Did you mean to say that my include directive SHOULD (you wrote WOULD)
be an absolute path to the file system ?.
To avoid going round in circles over the syntax of should and would,
could you please correct the include statement - so that the new line is
the correct statement that will work.
For example, should I write:
include ("c:\my_full_path\db\mysql_database.inc.php"); //note windows
path notation OR
include ("c:/my_full_path/db/mysql_database.inc.php"); OR
include
("../path_relative_from_THIS_file_to_include_file/db/mysql_database.inc.php");
OR
include
("..\path_relative_from_THIS_file_to_include_file\db\mysql_database.inc.php")
?
