I generally use CVS to store my work and also to 'publish' stuff onto different setups/machines for testing/production, rather than moving/copying files manually - I find it alot easier to type 'cvs up -r SOME_TAG' and just have all the files updated with out having to think about which exactly files I must copy. I usually end up with a small config file that is not included in the [cvs] project (so it must be created manually for/in each installation) and have the project 'init' code check for the config file, require it and then test for the existance of some required constants/variables/etc - if the file is missing, not readable or expected constants/vars/etc are missing then the app dies with a suitable error message. > > Thanks for your help. > > > > Regards, > > Bruce > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
