I am currently going through 'davidj's php tutorials @
http://www.dreamweaverclub.com/vtm/php-mysql-apache.php and am in the proce=
ss of learning.=A0 I am encountering an issue though that I can't seem to f=
ind an answer to.=A0 Maybe someone can help me. 
I downloaded the WAMP server, (which I found out I could do after painstaki=
ngly manually setting up my own set of wamp programs) and made it up to the=
part of the tutorials when I am required to check out my work.=20
(This is my connections.php)

//////////////////////////////////////
$database  =A0 = =A0 "practice";
$username  =A0 = =A0 "daniel";
$password  =A0 = =A0 "buggytaz";
///////////////////////////////////////
$link      =A0 = =A0 @mysql_connect('localhost', $username,=
$password);
$db        =A0 = =A0 mysql_select_db($database, $link);
?>

(And this is my practice.php)

require_once("Connections/connection.php");=A0 //database connection

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
$query   =3Dsprintf("SELECT * FROM table1");
$result=A0 =3D@mysql_query($query);
$row     =3Dmysql_fetch_array($result);
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////
echo $row['field2'];
?>

The database IS in place through the SQL managment program.
I am able to view my php.info document.
Now... this is the issue that I am having.
When I try to view the page I get this back:

Warning: require_once(Connections/connection.php) [function.require-once]: =
failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\WebRoot\Tes=
t\Images\practice.php on line 2
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'Co=
nnections/connection.php' (include_path=3D'.;C:\php5\pear') in C:\wamp\www\=
WebRoot\Test\Images\practice.php on line 2

I have a feeling that my issue is contained within:   (include_path=3D'=
..;C:\php5\pear')
But I honestly have no idea.
Please give me a hand if you can.

I can't see a problem if your connection.php file is located off the
practice.php folder.

C:\wamp\www\WebRoot\Test\Images\Connections\connection.php

In which folder is the connection.php file located?

It might be a slip of typing but you say in your description that the
connection file is called 'connections.php', but you are calling
'connection.php'.

So you have two solutions.

Specify the complete path to the connection.php file.
require_once("C:/wamp/www/WebRoot/Test/Connections/connectio n.php");

Or, tell the program to go up a directory level (../) to the Test folder
to start looking for the connection.php file.
require_once("../Connections/connection.php");
