note 56511 added to function.include

I decided to use the include function in one of my functions. It like to drove me crazy! I found two problems. 1.) Say you want to include a few strings, such as a conf file: L:\bin\conf\main.conf - <?php $classDir = "L:\bin\src\\"; .. .. .. ?> L:\bin\func\using.func - <?php include 'L:\bin\conf\main.conf'; function using($class) { $classFile = $classdir . $class; include $classFile; } Well, this doesn't work. I for awhile It was driving me nuts. I was even talking to the file, cursing it, telling it that it is stupid. Then for some reason or another I knew that it would work inside the function too. So, I put the include in the function as well: L:\bin\func\using.func - <?php function using($class) { include 'L:\bin\conf\main.conf'; $classFile = $classdir . $class; include $classFile; } And TADA!!! It worked. I just put this on here incase someone does the same stupid thing I did. on to the next problem, and a stupid one. 2.) Say you want to include a file in the previous directory: <?php include "../conf/main.conf"; .. .. ?> this doesnt work. For some dumb reason, the makers of PHP want you to include the name of the folder the php file is in then the '../': <?php include "func/../conf/main.conf"; .. .. ?> This works. There ya go if you wanted to know. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+56511 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56511&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56511&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56511&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56511&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56511&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+56511&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+56511&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
