RE: [PHP] Re:[PHP] not so happy with include()

How about: define('DIR_INCLUDES', 'path/to/my/includes/') and then use something like: require ($DOOCUMENT_ROOT . DIR_INCLUDES . "adm/admin.php"); //untested, off-the-cuff code I encourage you to look at the source code for The Exchange Project (theexchanceproject.org). They're using includes extensively for all functions, classes, etc. and have a well-designed, well-laid out system. (IMO) Should provide some inspiration. --kurt > -----Original Message----- > From: Christian Dechery [mailto:cdechery@easynet.com.br] > Sent: Sunday, October 07, 2001 5:37 PM > To: bojan@inet.co.yu > Cc: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: Re: [PHP] Re:[PHP] not so happy with include() > > > this doesn't solve my problem...
