I am working on setting up a php apache mysql debian box for a friend. I am not a php programmer but there is something strange going on. On a machine with php 4.1.7 compiled from source the require_once("file.db.php"); works but useing the debian package it doesn't seem to work right. unless it has only one dot in the file name like: require_once("filedb.php"); is this a php compile option of some kind? This just doesn't seem right. Does anyone know what I'm talking about. Thanks -- Bill Warner Direct Alliance
