yep, it was set to 'off' so I've changed all the includes now so that they look like this: <?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/include/header.htm"); ?> again, they work fine on the live site but still not locally :( > Check a phpinfo() screen and see what variables are different between your > host and your local box.
