RE: [PHP] The Include Eludes

when you'll be awake: if you ever used require() successfully then with include() NOTHING should change in your paths. example: assuming that require('/home/httpd/html/site/this/file.inc') worked for you since the beginning of times: then include('/home/httpd/html/site/this/file.inc') will work there just as well. Try simply to replace the function names on a test script that already runs perfectly with require() and you will understand the difference; Cheers, Maxim Maletsky. -----Original Message----- From: Joseph H Blythe [mailto:joe.blythe@binarylogic.com.au] Sent: Monday, November 27, 2000 3:01 PM To: Lawrence.Sheed@dfait-maeci.gc.ca; PHP-General Subject: Re: [PHP] The Include Eludes Lawrence.Sheed@dfait-maeci.gc.ca wrote: > > Have you tried using $DOCUMENT_ROOT to get the root directory of your web > pages. > > eg > > if your files are in > > /inc/somefile.php (from a web browser), then the php could be: > > include $DOCUMENT_ROOT .

Geez its time to knock off, I'll try and sort this out tommorrow as I really need to understand why this isn't working.
