Problem with include()

[htiek]

Ok have I got this right…. I’ve been looking around for answers, and pickin up some info and been baffled by others 😕

I have php set up at home as a testing server, I’m having troubles whit the include() function. Basically it not opening the files, and I figure it because the path in the php.ini file is not pointing to the directory I want it to.
To get it to work correctly is all I have to do is change the php.ini file to point to the given directory?

Eg
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Paths and Directories ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; UNIX: "/path1:/path2"

;include_path = ".:/php/includes"
;
; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
;include_path = ".;c:\php\includes" //change this

I need to use the relative path to the document (eg ../../templates/file.inc not http://thedomain.com/blahblah..) so I can pass variables to the include script.

I have to get home to try out the above but is there another method to do it

If this worked it would be perfect

include(“../../templates/file.inc”) // but it wont work

I only ask because once I figure it out at home I have to figure it out/configure the server my site is on. Ide prefer a quick fix like include(“../../templates/file.inc”)

php.net inculde()

😉

include(“../../templates/file.inc”) // but it wont work

Should be

include(“../../templates/file.inc”) ;

Sorry that was just an example, forgot the ;

What I’m sayin is it would be good if you could just put the relative path inside the include() function rather than editing the php.ini file to point to a given directory. I got it working on my home computer I just have to find out what goin to be the deal with my server, eg what’s the path at the server, can I change it etc.
