note 94825 added to function.include

After asking around a bit on IRC, and in some trial and error, I found that when you include a file (say, /includes/foo.php) in another file (/includes/bar.php), and include that file within another file from another directory (/stuff/script.php), the includes have to be relative to their parent includer. For example, the following is valid (in my experience): /includes/foo.php <?php echo "this is from foo.php"; ?> /includes/bar.php <?php include("foo.php"); ?> /stuff/script.php <?php include("../includes/bar.php"); ?> The output of script.php is "this is from foo.php," as one would expect. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 24.167.156.98 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/94825 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94825/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94825/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94825/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94825/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94825/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94825/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/94825 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/94825 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
