Re: cold fusion to php conversion..

Hi Kelly, PHP doesn't have anything built in to do *exactly* what you want to do on an application-by-application basis. Instead, what you have to do is use include (or require) within each page and put the path to this file. I converted a CF application to PHP and I did it this way. I found the path to the application.php file (as I called it) and then used this as a variable within all of my pages. Worked really well. Not quite as easy as within CF, but did the same job and was easy enough to strip in across all my pages. hope this helps Ade >Quick newbie question.. >I'm converting a cold fusion project to php. >Cold fusion supports an 'application' structure by the inclusion of an >application.cfm file.
