Hi,

Currently I have created some php based webpages and uploaded them to my web hosting server.It has a PHP 5.1.6
installed.With this I am able to include files only that are in the same directory(they work well using require() fn).If not an error message displaying some "no such file" in directory appears in the page.I would like to use them to be included in different direcetories.What should I do?

<?php include 'some/other/directory/file.php'?>

self promo link drop - http://www.candsdesign.co.uk/article.../php-includes/

I think that this will work, for example, a link one directory back and into another directory.

EX:
........................<File A
...............<dirA<
HomeDir <.........<File B
.............<.........<File A
...............<dirB<
........................<File B

You would link it like this, I think:
*From

<?php include("../dirB/fileb.php"); ?>

That would include a file from dirb, fileb, to dira, filea, for example.

(I THINK THAT THIS IS IT)

The answer to your questions, however, is by using relative paths.

Do a quick search for: php includes relative paths

It's pretty easy stuff. You'll get the hang of it quickly. Here are a couple quick examples...

file.php - this refers to file.php in the current directory.
./file.php - this also refers to file.php in the current directory.
../file.php - this refers to file.php in the parent directory to where you are calling it from.
./dir/file.php - this refers to file.php in a subdirectory called 'dir' underneath the directory you are calling it from.

Hope that helps a little.

I cannot remember anymore how many time this has been answered.
Rely on the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] variable.

If you put all your functions in a file named fxs.php, in a directory named "includes" at the root of your web site, to always include it, anywhere in the site, it would be

PHP Code:

include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/includes/fxs.php"); 


$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] points to the root folder of your web site on the server.

I don't have enough experience with PHP and I want to dig into PHP. Can some one here give me any suggestions regarding PHP?
