What does this error mean?

Warning: parse_ini_file() [function.parse-ini-file]: Cannot open 'php_browscap.ini' for reading in /home/user/public_html/test/functions.php

I realize it says cannot open but why cant it open? The file exists.

What permissions does 'php_browscap.ini' have? For the server to read it, it should be at least 0644.

Thank you for that, I will check if thats the reason and post back.

It is 0644. Any other ideas?

look to open_basedir:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.php#ini.open-basedir

I presume that safe_mode is on.
