Sorry, mabye I'm dumb at all, but maybe anybody can help: I include some files from index.php, which are located in different folders. getcwd() gives me the path to the current working directory, not the folder where the included file is. How can I know what folder the included file is in, not setting a variable with the chdir's argument before including the file, or doing something like that? I don't think it looks pretty. P. S. I read somewhere, that there sould be the __FILE__ constant, but print(__FILE__) does nothing, defined(__FILE__) returns false... -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.getcwd.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+16292 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+16292 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+16292
