note 70470 added to function.is-file

An easy way not to have to choose between hard-coding full paths and using relative paths is either via this line: <?php // in the bootstrap file define('DIR_ROOT', dirname(__FILE__)); // in other files, prefix paths with the constant require(DIR_ROOT . '/relative/to/bootstrap.php'); ?> or if you have to use a relative path: <?php require(dirname(__FILE__) . '/relative/to/this_file.php'); ?> This way all your paths will be absolute, yet you can move the application anywhere in the filesystem. BTW, each successive call to dirname takes you one step up in the directory tree. <?php echo __FILE__; // /www/site.com/public/index.php echo dirname(__FILE__); // /www/site.com/public echo dirname(dirname(__FILE__)); // /www/site.com ?> ---- Server IP: 83.64.128.68 Probable Submitter: 87.206.164.46 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.is-file.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/70470 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70470/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70470/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70470/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70470/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70470/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70470/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/70470 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/70470 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
