reading outside the document tree

[s0me0ne]

reading all html files from outside the document tree

long story short, the site I'm helping out has a webtraffic script but the host has it outside the document tree and will not move it

now I can get around it by using

<?php include("../webstats/index.html"); ?>

and this will take me to the main page, but of course all links and pages are broken,

as far as I know could I write some code to parse the HTML first?

I'm guessing I could just add the appropriate

../webstats/

and all would be okay, since I'm doing this from the webroot

I'm not totally sure of the question but i think you may want to check out the
<base href="foo">
tag to a new relative path for for your url's

doesn't the host give access to those stats via the web?

I know I've seen hosts that do the same thing, but you can get to your stats by going to mydomain.net/webstats or something similar.

instead of using include, you would have to use file, parse the file and either add a base href tag or modify all a href tags and img tags with the proper path.

Again, if you could access via that path in http, then why not just go to the webstats directory directly.

Is it htaccess'd?
