Thanks but I am still having problems, $DOCUMENT_ROOT does not seem to work(I am using an NT4 server), I cannot use an absolute path as the content management software that is running has a tendency to strip them out!
It seems (to me) that it is a precedence problem, as it does not look in the include_path first to see if the file exists but simply creates it in the active documents directory. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Why not give full path information, so there is no ambiguity? Or use $DOCUMENT_ROOT for portability? -- David Robley Techno-JoaT, Web Maintainer, Mail List Admin, etc CENTRE FOR INJURY STUDIES Flinders University, SOUTH AUSTRALIA Do the joke. Get the laugh.
