Yes, thanks, to the extent that that is what I *thought* should be
happening.   And yet when I run a test on it using just the bare minimum
code it continues to exhibit the effect I describe.  In other words the
"current diretory" is happy to be used for the include case but not for
the testing case.

Maybe what's happening is the "include path" to which you refer is getting
the guernsey and allowing the includes to work.   So I'll have to learn
why the current directory is not being set correctly.   Apache's htdocs
directory contains a symlink to the /sandpit/phppgadmin... area.  Maybe it
needs a hard link instead?

Anyway thanks for prompting me to look a bit further afield.

Cheers,
