Re: include

This is extremely unfortunate as I don't know of a way to do this either. I do however have a workaround that's not too tedious. Insert the following code into the very top of all of your documents: $GLOBALS["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] = preg_replace("/wwwroot.*$/i","wwwroot",$PATH_TRANSLATED); This assumes that your root web folder is wwwroot. Change this as necessary. This enables you to include files like so: include_once($DOCUMENT_ROOT."/includes/main_header.inc.php"); By the way, $DOCUMENT_ROOT is an Apache environment variable so if you happen to be running Apache instead of IIS just leave out the preg_replace call because $DOCUMENT_ROOT will already be set for you. --Toby ----- Original Message ----- From: "Olivier Botineau" <obotineau@noos.fr> To: "PHP Windows list (Adresse de messagerie)" <php-windows@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, April 20, 2001 6:05 PM Subject: [PHP-WIN] include > Good evening all, > do you know if its possible to give an absolute path instead of a relative path for include: > include( '../../menu.php' ); is OK > incude( '/inculde/menu.php' ); is Not OK > > Depend where im in tree directory i have to change '../', then relative path > is not usefull in that case. > (ASP allows this in include directive with VIRTUAL parameter, so I suppose > PHP too?) > Olivier. > > -- > PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-windows-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-windows-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net >
