RE: [PHP] Setting include path to same directory as .php file.?

You may want to use a fixed (absolute) path from your web root, instead of a relative path eg /phpstuff x.php include $DOCUMENT_ROOT . "phpstuff/x.php"; or /pictures/phppostcard y.php include $DOCUMENT_ROOT . "pictures/phppostcard/y.php"; instead of include "../phpstuff/x.php"; or include "./pictures/phppostcard/y.php"; (dependant on your current directory) $DOCUMENT_ROOT is your absolute path to the web root. So if your web root is /home/usr/mysite/ $DOCUMENT_ROOT will be equal to that. You can then use that as a base to include your files from.

Can this be done from inside an individual script? I have an application which needs to include files from a particular directory but it is frequently not an option for my users to munge around in php.ini. The problem is that my app is trying to co-exist with php-Nuke. I have to include two files, which then go ahead to include further files. I can simply include "../header.php" for example, but then it tries to include one or more other files and then it fails because they aren't in '.' with my script. So I have to move my script to the same as the other include files, but that is not too popular with some users, so I'm trying to find a way to do it "right" and have everything relating to my script exist in a subdirectory, not tainting the "main" directory in which phpNuke resides.
