Re: included_by() possible?

Hiya Maybe i see this wrong but in a include you can check $PHP_SELF and stuff that should give you the page that called the include or am i wrong Greetz, Wico At 09:48 25-8-00 +0200, André Langhorst wrote:

If you´d read the whole thing, you´d know OR I totally failed explaining in short-style. a) If you distribute PHP-apps to users, which absolutely do not know what PHP or even a sss-lanuage is, it´ll be better to let them include <?php include('php.app.php'); ?> instead of <?php $foobar=__FILE__; include('php.app.php'); ?> so that they think they plugged in a component. b) If you meant it the other way round, what should I do with that information, well, if the included files do the whole processing and you need to generate forms and links pointing to the *same* app, you cannot use __FILE__ because it is useless. You have to use $foobar, which must be included in the code the user needs to include. Eg. when the compiler is available, you can create applications that a) are configurable with a config script, maybe a normal .php file b) you´ve the compiled application you include with include() c) you´ve just <?php include('php.app.php'); ?> this code, and the user can´t do *anything* wrong instead of passing the wrong filename, but that he´ll fix very fast.
