I was doing great with this book and was sort of blindsided by this auto_prepend_commend. I get teh basic idea of what it is suppose dot do, but I have no idea where is goes. Does it go in the php script?

They are talking about setting a configuration directive in php.ini.

There are a couple of ways to alter the setting, if you are using a windows environment all you need to do is located the configuration file, located at C:\Windows\php.ini (or whatever drive letter Windows is installed on). Open the configuration file in Notepad or a notepad like text editor.

Alter the directive by assigning a file path to it.

auto_prepend_file = path/to/file.php

Alternatively if your server is configured to accept PHP configuration changes through .htaccess files you can create a .htaccess file.

name the file: .htaccess
On a Windows OS you might have to surround this with quotes to get the OS to create the file.

include this line:
php_value auto_prepend_file path/to/file.php

Notice that each value is separated by a single space.

Save the file in the directory where you want *all* php files in that directory to be auto-prepended.

You may verify that settings have taken effect by running <?php phpinfo(); ?>
