RE: [PHP] include path confusion

I use the full path to help fix this problem. This way no matter where you drop it in, it will work... <?php include ('/home/sites/home/web/cgi-bin/ads/ad.php');?> -----Original Message----- From: Randy [mailto:foxpro@minutemanups.com] Sent: Monday, January 08, 2001 2:02 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] include path confusion I'm confused on what should be a simple issue - where does php look for an include file in the following example? My test results seem very confusing and the docs never mention it. In the program: include "../test/sample.php"; In php.ini: include_path="../include" Does php: A. Look in the dir "../test" for sample.php first and if not found, look in "../include" for sample.php? B. Ignore the dir "../test/" and look in "../include" for sample.php? C. Look in dir "../test" for sample.php and if not found, look in "../include" for "../test/sample.php"? (and can't find it as invalid) D. Look only in dir "../include" for "../test/sample.php"? (and can't find it as invalid) Does it work exactly the same for REQUIRE?
