Re: nested includes()...

Good style is to have a central scripts with defines such define("SITE_HTML","/var/www/virtual/www.mysite.com/private/html") and so on for every such dir using <?php include SITE_HTML."login.html"; ?> In every directory on your visible part of the web server paste a file with name like this : link_to_defs.php which includes the central script so you can place the central script anywhere in your server. Every script must include/require "link_to_defs.php" and everything will be good, after that you can use your defines. If you want to move your script to another location, there is no problem if in the new place there are link_to_defs.php Andrey Hristov Web Developer IcyGEN Corporation BALANCED SOLUTIONS http://www.icygen.com On Tuesday 09 October 2001 13:54, you wrote: > > I have a file x.php that includes a.inc, and a.inc includes b.inc... > > > > if I have a file dir/z.php including ../a.inc it doesn't work cuz it > > won't find b.inc... > > > > how can I get around this??? > > in file dir/z.php do: > > <? > chdir( ".." ); > include( "a.inc" ); > chdir( "dir" ); > ?> > > This way all included files have proper current working > directory and are able to include anything else (not depending > on above 'dir' directory structure, so it's movable structure). > The only problem is that 'z.php' has to be aware that it's in 'dir' > directory. > > Kamil 'Hilarion' Nowicki --
