People seem to be missing the point here. These are PUBLIC applications that
are failing to work for Noah. He should not need to re-write PHPMyAdmin in
order to get it to work?

Next people will be saying that we should re-write PHP if it does not work for
us.

Noah - I know that some 'security' has been added to the include function, but
I'm not sure why you are having problems. I'm running applications on windows
and Linux and the "./otherdir/" select is working fine.

Oh, did I say that? Must not have been paying attention as I
typed in words to that effect. Sorry.

I'm giving steps to debug and recreate the issue, not to rewrite
anyone else's code. You may have noticed where I mentioned
cross-platform portability.

Ask me about:
Dedicated servers starting @ $59.99/mo., VPS starting @ $19.99/mo.,
and shared hosting starting @ $2.50/mo.
Unmanaged, managed, and fully-managed!

I appreciate the help guys. I don't understand what's going on. Here's
what I've tried since posting:

Copied over the PHP binaries and php.ini from my old server to my new one.
No luck.
Copied over the phpMyAdmin from my old server to my new one. No luck.

I've double-checked all permissions. Seriously, what else could there be?!

I repeat:
on old server, include('./file.inc.php') works FINE
on new server, include('./file.inc.php') BREAKS

I'm about to do a replace of "./" with "" but I know that's giving up!
