RE: [PHP] require_once('') relative path problem

hey, i didn't quite get when you ment by that but have you tried using $DOCUMENT_ROOT before your path, that might help it will be something like this require_once('$DOCUMENT_ROOT/test/db.php'); $DOCUMENT_ROOT goes to your first folder that shows up online (where your index page is)

Php files in my project are located in different folders. Some folders have common files for other files. And file layout is like this /*

    File: a.php

*/ require_once('../test/db.php'); ... /* File: db.php */ require_once('../globals/global.php'); ... when i include a.php in another file i get error for global.php file that path could not be found. And if i correct the path in db.php then someother file which is using db.php will get error. So, can someone elaborate that how relative path works in require_once. what is the starting directory for require_once function which is using relative path. Or Is there any way that i can included some constant which include the absolute path from which all relative paths can be determined?
