[FX.php List] Required files?

[Steve Hannah]

Hi Elleni,

There is generally library folder that is separate from your  
webserver's document root where you can place PHP libraries such as  
FX.php.   Any libraries that are kept in this folder are available to  
be used by any php script on your webserver.  This directory will be  
included as part of the include path.

If you are not sure where this directory is, you can find it by  
creating a file called phpinfo.php with only the following:
<? phpinfo() ?>

When you view this file in your web browser it will print out a whole  
bunch of information about your PHP installation.  You are interested  
in the Configuration directive called "include_path".  Your library  
folder will be one of the paths listed here.  Place all of your FX  
files in this folder, and it will be accessible to the whole website.

For example, if you place the entire FX folder in this directory, in  
your php scripts you would include FX with the following line:

require_once 'FX/FX.php';

Hope this helps
