[geeklog-devel] Interesting bug - path collision

[Damien Hodgkin]

Nevermind Joe, obviously you can't think outside the Windows Box. 
But just to let you know there are ways, like say IF..ELSE statements, Adding 
a custom function so your call to include_once would resemble:
  include_once(custom_function(param1, param2));

A little brainwork goes a long way, PHP can do a lot of things you just have 
to have the imagination to come up with them. That is why we are "hackers" we 
solve problems. 

If I hosted on a Windows box I would gladly hack up a solution, but I don't 
(can't stand Windows).
