Re: hierarchies

I do have a bit of a problem which has not been clearly explained in the suggestions to my previous posts and that is the question of hierarchies. I have not yet understood how to include a file anywhere in a directory tree and have it point to the right file which may be in the top directory or, most likely, in a /lib/ directory from the file that is including. Any suggestions, or should I just make myself small and wait for the rotten eggs and spoiled tomatoes to come raining down on my head? :'( Are you talking about having a file structure such as:

/home /include /webroot /->images /->css /->java And you want to include a file from the include folder which is above the webroot, so doesn't have access to it? If that's the case... you just need to set the path such as: ini_set("include_path", "/home/include"); then in your PHP file you should be able to: include("mysupperfile.php"); and it should work :)
