trying to use include() for a private library

    Another question which probably has a straightforward
    answer, once I know what I'm doing !
    -
    I have written a nice little library of file I/O functions
    which all work flawlessly, so I thought I'd keep them in
    a separate file (diskiolib.php) and just use the include() directive to
    bring them into my scripts.
    -
    This does not appear to have the desired effect, as no
    script with my include("diskiolib.php"); statement in it
    ever passes parsing, let alone executes ! The library file
    is in the same directory as all my scripts.
    -
    Now, I just KNOW this is going to have an easy answer from
    the experts, so I am prepared to be humbled. I keep thinking in
    terms of C's #include, for .h files, and it's hard to find the
    answer in the manual.

    Should be straight forward, its in the same directory as the calling script? Does it give the usual error message? Usual problem is directories. You could always use the ./ before the file to clarify.

    I said it would be obvious !
    :D

    UNIX paths floor me, every time, even after years of
    messing.
