Crazy PHP Error

Failed opening required '/var/www/html/myphpfile'
(include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear')

Ok this is just the partial error but this is the part of the error I had to decipher.

What this is saying is "hey I tried to open your file using the following directories:

. A period is your current directory

usr/share/php

&

/usr/share/pear

the ":" is the delimiter.

This is all well and good but myphpfile is in the "." directory (same directory) so more investigation is needed.
