Symbolic Link

[Anon]

This is pretty non php related but I cannot seem to figure this one out.

I have a 2 directories located on a server:

Ex:

/usr/local/myfiles/admin/
/usr/local/myfiles/inc/

Now different websites use these files, so i have created a symbolic link to them in another location:

Ex:

/www/www.mysite.com/htdocs/admin -> /usr/local/myfiles/admin

Now the files in /usr/local/myfiles/admin

are including a file called config/config.inc.php

this file is where the symbolic links are. Because each site needs its own.

The problem is when you go the the symbolic link, the file is loaded but is looking for the config.inc.php file NOT where the symblic link is but where the actual files really are.

So its looking for

/usr/local/myfiles/config/config.inc.php

but i want it to look for

/www/www.mysite.com/htdocs/config/config.inc.php

Any ideas of what im doing wrong or is it impossible?

Note; Sorry if this is confusing.

Symbolic links live in the filesystem, rather than being created dynamically on a per-user basis. Thus, you'll probably need to dynamically create the include-file name. Does your script already know the site-name when it is called?

No it does not, it seems to work if I just have symbolic links to the individual files that are including the config.inc.php, and create the directories myself instead of just making a symbolic link to the directory.

I guess that is my only solution.
