Thanks Scott.

Guess I'm stumped with setting my include path.  In my php.ini I specify the
following:

include_path=.;c:/php10/PEAR

in my test script I use:

require_once 'Spreadsheet\Excel\Writer.php';

However, when I run the script I get the following:

Warning: main(Spreadsheet\Excel\Writer.php): failed to open stream: No such
file or directory in c:\program files\apache
group\apache\htdocs\main_branch\program_files\excel.php on line 2

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'Spreadsheet\Excel\Writer.php'
(include_path='.') in c:\program files\apache
group\apache\htdocs\main_branch\program_files\excel.php on line 2

I have verified that the Writer.php file is in the director and that the
path I specify is correct. Thanks for any light you might shed.

Mark

You shouldn't treat PEAR files any differently from other files that you 
would include in your script. Putting them in your web directory can be 
dangerous. I think there was a Phundamentals article about this.

You should just make sure that your include path is set properly and you 
shouldn't have any problems.
