Re: Setting paths in PHP

Johan, Use a combination of getcwd() and chdir(). It's well worth while checking out the functions offered for both directory and file. <?

            $cwd = getcwd();
           chdir ($cwd."/wherever/you/want/to/set/it");

#The following index.htm contains links, see below. $link = "data/data.htm"; $fd = fopen ($link, "r"); echo fread ($fd,filesize( $link)); fclose ($fd);

           chdir( $cwd );

My question: how do you set a path using php or html? I need it for the following code: index.php ----------------------------------------- <?

            #The following index.htm contains links, see below.
            $link = "data/data.htm";
            $fd = fopen ($link, "r");
            echo fread ($fd,filesize( $link));
            fclose ($fd);

?> --------------------------------------------------- data.htm ------------------------------------------ <download.htm>Download it now! --------------------------------------------------- The PHP includes the data.htm file in the page generated by index.php, but the link DOWNLOAD.ZIP won't work because that file is in the DATA directory. How can I set the path to DATA - and after reading the file, set the path back to the directory where index.php is located? I'm running Linux.

Thanks in advance,     Johan
