note 16750 added to function.require

To my surprise,require is quite different to #include in C.For example,I install my web applications in a subdirectory "hglaser" of $DOCUMENT_ROOT,and directory "hglaser" contains 2 subdirectories:"inc" and "test".I place a file "lib.inc.php" in directory "inc",the following is the content of this file: lib.inc.php =========== <? require("classes.inc.php"); ?> The file "classes.inc.php" contains the definition of classes.And then,I place a file "test.php" in the diretory "test": test.php ======== <? require("../lib/lib.inc.php"); ?> The PHP told me that the lib.inc.php can not open the file "classes.inc.php",which will never happen in C! I can not accept this,so I begin to find out a way to resolve this problem: I wrote a function named "require_me" in file "require_me.inc.php" in diretory "lib": require_me.inc.php ================== <? function require_me($relative_path){ $install_subdir="hglaser";//subdirectory where the web application installed if($install_subdir==""){ require($GLOBALS["DOCUMENT_ROOT"].$relative_path); } else{ require($GLOBALS["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/".$install_subdir.$relative_path); } } ?> Now modify the file "lib.inc.php" and "test.php": lib.inc.php =========== <? require_me("/inc/lib/lib.inc.php"); ?> test.php ======== <? require("../inc/lib/require_me.inc.php"); require_me("/inc/lib/lib.inc.php"); //require_me... ?> -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.require.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+16750 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+16750 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+16750
