I never get my password wrong -- it's the pinyin spelling of the Mandarin pronunciation of the nickname of a woman friend of Scottish descent . That would be her arm you see in the avatar .

Looks like this topic is pretty much closed, but here's a note about includes.

On certain servers, if you have an includes directory specified in php.ini, when you put

include('thefilename.inc');

some servers look in the global includes for the file, not the directory the script is sitting in. The solution for it is pretty simple:

include('/thefilename.inc');

or

include('./thefilename.inc');

I've seen cases where that has worked. There is probably a smarter way around that, but its worked for me.
