not so happy with include()

I'm working in quite a BIG system in PHP now... I have up to 6 .inc.php (library files) so far... I have the following directory tree.. /vitrine (main program files) /vitrine/include (include dir, where the .inc.php resides) /vitrine/adm (the administration panel, with login etc...) the problem is that within the files in /adm I do some requires() and includes()... and within the .inc.php's also... so I'd have something like... /vitrine/adm/admin.php <? require("../include/lib.inc.php"); require("../include/error.inc.php"); // etc... ?> /vitrine/include/lib.inc.php <? require_once("../include/db.inc.php"); // etc... ?> this works fine when I am at /adm... but once I move to /vitrine none of the includes-within-includes works because of the relative dirs... I can't use include_path cuz I don't have access to php.ini... what do I do??? _____________________________ . Christian Dechery . .
