Re: require() in other directories?

Best groupmember, I have an webapplication that uses different languages and therefor I have set up different directorys for each language. All languages use the same classes. The problem I have is when I want to require() the classfile I can not require a file that is not in the same directory as my .php file. I have tried the following: require("../classes.php"); require("http://www.mydomain.com/classes.php");

totally wrong!!!

and more. All gives me error messages, why?

the relative path in require must be reltaive to the _executing_ script NOT to the _included_ script! f.e. with classes.php in /webroot/ /webroot/index.php:

    require 'lang/en.php';

/webroot/lang/en.php:

    //WRONG:
    require '../classes.php';

    //RIGHT:
    require 'classes.php';

    // or
    require '/webroot/classes.php';
