Re: [PHPiCalendar-DEV] file_exists bug on Linux

[Brett O'C. <oco...@do...>]

Hi!  Thanks for responding.

No, I don't think this server is running in cgi mode.  Here is a link 
to the phpinfo() for the server:

http://mephisto.intelligent-imaging.com/oconnorb/phpinfo.php

Although I must admit I didn't think of that.

Also, as far as I can tell the base dir resolves correctly.  Here is a 
link to my calendar where I echo it at the top:

http://mephisto.intelligent-imaging.com/oconnorb/

Also, below that, I am echoing the $lang_file string.  Perhaps you see 
something amiss?

Thanks again for the response!

Brett
