this works...
but this doesnt...
The error Im getting is: "Fatal error: Failed opening required '/required.php' (include_path='') in"
Is there way around this?

Yeah, it runs as an executable just like anything else, Apache just catches what it spews out.
I'm not with Freeola but I get what you're trying to say.
PHP isnt my forte. Didn't realise PHP used the file system directory structure.

'cus is suppose to be cleaver :oP
Anyway, say your Freeola ID is sr0123456, then your freeola web space root is /freeola/users/%/*/sr0123456/
Its a bit confusing here, but I'll give it a shot.
The '%' value is the last number in your ID, in this case 6.
The '*' value is the second from last number in your ID, in this case 5.
/freeola/users/6/5/sr0123456/ - being the root.
/freeola/users/6/5/sr0123456/htdocs - being your Web Space.
/freeola/users/6/5/sr0123456/cgi-shi - being your cgi-bin.
Confused yet :o)

Fool!
Explanation:
/foo.php in HTML is / in the domain, eg. www.mysite.com/foo.php
However, PHP runs on the filesystem as a program - /foo.php tries to look in the root directory for foo.php, kinda like C:\foo.php. Here:
+--={05:54:00}=--
| rob@euripides:~$ ls /
abyss c data etc initrd mnt rar tmp vmlinuz xmms
bin cdrom dev floppy lib proc root usr vmlinuz.old
boot d downloads home lost+found pub sbin var www
+--={05:54:01}=--
| rob@euripides:~$
See now? Your scripts will be somewhere in there somewhere, you have to find out what the "path to your root directory" is. In my setup, it's /www, on freeola's it's something massive like /var/apache/users/[your-userid]/htdocs/

Oh, the root, sorry.
I'm sure there is an easier way of doing that, but its skicped my mind for the moment, but I'll look it up.
Suppose you could try setting up a Variable for the location of the root
$Root = "/home/html/public" or whatever your surver is set up as. Then just use:
but like I say, I'm sure that isn't the only way of doing it.
Rob might be able to answer this, but I'll go and have a look ...

Changing it from
to
would mean its looking in the current directory, whereas I want it to look in the root.
And its a static filename Im using.
It's definately a PHP thing, as HTML works fine when you use this for hrefs etc.

Just remove the / from the second one should do it, although I'm not sure why having it there would make an error.
Are you using a variable to put the name there, or a static name?
