Re: Mixing include path styles. How do I do this???

My bad! Windows is definitely not a strong suit with me. I did not know I could do the drive paths with the reverse slashes. I tried it and it worked flawlessly! Thank you!!! All I have to do now is add the drive path up to the web directory to the replace. Thanks again! Easier than I could have hoped for. Rod On Wednesday, October 23, 2002, at 10:13 AM, Rich Gray wrote:

Roderick Have you tried just changing '/acc/includes/headstart.htm' to 'c:/acc/includes/headstart.htm'? i.e. leaving the unix style slashes in place... There is a nasty bug in the latest versions of PHP on Win32 affecting the include statement with absolute paths. The above is a workaround solution - once the bug is fixed you should be able to remove the 'c:' stuff. HIW!

How do I do this??? We recently switched from Netscape Enterprise to IIS and I now need to make a lot of changes to over 600 htmls - mostly in include statements. We're doing two things here, switching servers and switching all our SSI's to PHP includes. Under Enterprise, I could define a path just by putting it into the include from the root, ie: <!--#include virtual="/acc/includes/headstart.htm"--> I used a global Find and Replace app to change all these (each html has about eight includes) to: <? include '/acc/includes/headstart.htm'; ?> and now they don't work. If I replace the whole path with a Windows path structure (C:\...) to the included file, it does work. Here's the problem as I see it. I can easily do another Find and Replace to add in the first part of the directory tree to the web directory. What I cannot easily do is change the "/" to "\" inside the path for the part of the path that's already there. Is there some way to define the path to the web directory using "\", maybe in a variable and then somehow/way switch over to "/" so I don't have to mess with the paths I already have? Or maybe there's a solution I'm not even aware of. Thank you. -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
