Apache error virtual() and PHP

Question

Using DW8's server behaviors, DW writes a virtual() statement
to include the connection to MySQL. I get an error (standard
windows looking error dialog box) saying that: "Apache HTTP Server
has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
inconvenience." In the Apache error log it is listed as: Error in
my_thread_global_end(): 252 threads didn't exit.
If I use a require_once() in its place, I dont get the error
with Apache but DW keeps re-writing the virtual() statement and
gives me the nasty (!) in the server behaviors panel.
Anyone have any suggestions?
PS - I am using DW8, php5.2.4, Apache2.2.6.

I've answered this in your other thread, but for the benefit
of anyone
who stumbles across this one instead, I'll paste the answer
here too:
Dreamweaver 8 and CS3 use virtual() if you select links
relative to the
site root in the Local Info category of the site definition
dialog box.
Since the PHP include and require commands cannot interpret
site-root-relative links, you should select document-relative
links when
defining a PHP site. In cases where you need to use
site-root-relative
links (such as in an include file), override the default link
style in
the Create Link dialog box (there's a drop-down menu at the
bottom left
of the dialog box that lets you select whether the link is
relative to
the site root or to the document).
The reason virtual() probably doesn't work for you is that
it's an
Apache-specific function that works only when PHP is
installed as an
Apache module.
