I always put it into a variable. $_CONF['path'] = '/home/web/www/'; and then use that variable in all of your includes or requires. I also make an HTML variable that's used in all links and images. $_CONF['html'] = 'http://www.mysite.com/'; Sure, you have to get used to using this variable everywhere, but it makes switching server pretty easy. ---John W.
