note 19516 added to function.include

I built a custom function to accomodate for relative includes from within nested includes (the old a includes b includes c problem mentioned a couple times above). Use this in place of PHP's include() function every time, and you can always include a file relative to the current file you are in. Ex: myInclude("deep/nested/include/file.php") <?php function myInclude($fileName) { //you are here $rootPath = getcwd()."/"; //find where we need to go $aryFilePath = split("/", $fileName); $fileToInclude = array_pop($aryFilePath); $includePath = join("/", $aryFilePath) . "/"; //do the include chdir($rootPath.$includePath); include($fileToInclude); chdir($rootPath); } ?> Hope this helps someone... -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+19516 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+19516 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+19516
