[FX.php List] PHP.ini question

Steve,
I discovered that my problem is NOT the required_once function but rather
the include file it's self. I have isolated the problem to one function
inside the include file, When I take that out, things start to work.
Like I said before, I inherited this web site so I need to do some code
sloothing. But still what could be the difference between the servers that
might cause this.
