note 76092 added to function.include

What a pain! I have struggled with including files from various subdirectories. My server doesn't support an easy way to get to the root HTML directory so this is what I came up with: <?php $times = substr_count($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],"/"); $rootaccess = ""; $i = 1; while ($i < $times) { $rootaccess .= "../"; $i++; } include ($rootaccess."foo/bar.php"); ?> This will give you what it takes to get to the root directory, regardless of how many subdirectories you have traveled through. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 74.129.11.153 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/76092 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76092/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76092/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76092/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76092/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76092/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76092/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/76092 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/76092 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
