Jay,
to make variables.inc available from wherever you are, set the value of
include_path in your php.ini or httpd.conf or .htaccess t something like
".:/path/to/where/variables.inc/is:/other/paths"
as an alternative, use the auto_prepend_file directive to include
variables.inc before any script.
See the 'configuration' section in the php manual on how to do this.
Cheers,
Ben
