Re: Setting include path to same directory as .php file.?

I left out a small detail - I don't control all of the files in ../ I have a photo gallery program that I am trying to make compatible with PHP-Nuke so it can be dropped in as a plug-in package. It works today but you have to put the main PHP file for my stuff in the main PHP-Nuke directory - it can find everything else in its own subdirectory. Ideally I would like it to be all contained in a subdirectory instead. -dan Previously, Daniel Convissor said: > Dan: > > Dan Lowe wrote: > > > > 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. > > The include_path doesn't need to be set in your php.ini.
