Using Usergroup ID's to allow/deny Permisson question

[derfy]

Let me try (I'm another admin on the site)

We're using a CMS. We have a page that I wrote using PHP to pull out vB's ban info. When we try and include('./forum/global.php'), it breaks. The page stops executing and no output past the include() is printed. No error message is printed, as well.

I *think* it's either a file perm issue or open_basedir.

Neg on open_basedir.

Chdir'ing to our forums dir and requiring from there produces the same results.

I'm begining to lean toward a safe mode issue...
