Hi,

For some reason incude does not seem to want to work. Its giving the error :-

Warning: include(http://www.***.org/skin/Test.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/***.org/html/skintest.php on line 9

PHP accesses the file system directly, not the web server. You're telling PHP to access /skin/Test.php from the root directory of your system, not your web server.

You need to tell PHP where the web root is first, then get your file, i.e.

include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/skin/Test.php');

Great, thats it, thanks alot Jerry.

The following code works great now :-

$skinname = "Test";

include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/skin/" . $skinname . ".php");

$skin = new $skinname;

$skin->show();

Many thanks again,

Aaron
