"/inc/inc1.php" fail cause its searching the file in the server root ... also "inc1.php" will fail cause it searches it in the working dir of testinclude.php ... did you set doc_root = /usr/local/www/htdocs than maybe leave this blank ! >> insert something like into inc1.php and inc2.php: >> >> <?php >> echo "inc included<br>\n"; >> echo "<br>\n"; >> $folder=dir('inc'); >> // print out folder "inc" >> while($datei = $folder->read()) { >> echo "$datei<br>\n"; >> } >> $folder->close(); >> echo "<br>\n"; >> ?> > > > Unfortunately, this gives nothing.

But this is not clearly > described in the documentation, and it's a bit confusing. if a file is parsed, all include files a relativ to this parsed file. with phpinfo() you could read the document root in the "PHP Variables" section which might look like PHP_SELF /phpinfo.php _SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] /usr/local/www/htdocs ... _SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"] /usr/local/www/htdocs/phpinfo.php _SERVER["SCRIPT_URI"] http://www.yourdomain.com/phpinfo.php ... _SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"] /usr/local/www/htdocs/phpinfo.php ... a "." mean working dir and ".." mean parent dir echo exec('ls'); should print out not a empty string but testinclude.php and echo exec('pwd'); should print "/usr/local/www/htdocs/tests" -- @ Goetz Lohmann, Germany | Web-Developer & Sys-Admin \/ ------------------------------------------------------ () He's the fellow that people wonder what he does and || why the company needs him, until he goes on vacation.
