basically you need to append to your include_path and you can probably create a local .htaccess file and set an include path in there (look up php_value syntax for .htaccess)
otherwise start your script with a customised version of the following: ini_set("include_path",ini_get("include_path").":". "/your/path/here/"); then include/require as normal -- frank ----- Original Message ----- From: "anders thoresson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2003 4:33 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] web site security: how to hide login info for mysql-connection > > Be aware that wherever you store the settings folder, your php.ini should > > have that path in it's include_directories setting, and the webserver > > must > > have read permissions for that file. > > I don't have access to php.ini on my ISP's web server.
