Thought I had lost my mind..but then realized that the instructions for doing php_include were incorrect, particullarly the path... here's the path it gave me.. PHP: Just include /home/virtual/site391/fst/var/www/html/members/plugins/php_include/check.inc.php in your PHP page as follows: ============================================================================ .. your html still here, if exists ============================================================================ Notice that the path is missing a level...should read.. /home/virtual/site391/fst/var/www/html/members/plugins/protect/php_include/check.inc.php Also the actually code is missing from the instructions if you notice above. Luckly for me I hard read teh docs b4 I install it..lol. Do say though that it works. Very happy so far.
