Locating your include directory if you have it at the same level as your root directory (www or htdocs or html_public etc.). Lets say your include directory is named 'include'. Place an include file named IncludePath.inc in your root directory with the following: <?php global $IncludePath; $IncludePath = dirname($DOCUMENT_ROOT) . "/include/"; ?> Now, when you create a new page anywhere in your root directory tree type this in your page: <?php include($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "IncludePath.inc"); #now lets say you want to include a file called dbpassword.inc from your include directory include($IncludePath . "dbpassword.inc"); #and so on... ?> This helps me out so much when I'm maintaining more that one domain.
