setting include dir

[scriptkiddie]

hi everyone!

Is there a way of setting the present dir?

lets say including.php is in the dir: /root/inc/including.php

but i want the parser to believe that we're in /root/inc/second/

so that if we write include("test.php"); in the including.php file, the parser makes that include("/root/inc/second/test.php");

i know this is possible, but i cannot remember the function, and yes, i've already searched the php manual, but dunno what i should look for..

thanks.

There r several options:

Use the ini_set function.

or:

Edit the 'include_path' in you 'php.ini'.

or:

Set 'php_admin_value include_path "/where/ever"' in your 'httpd.conf' or a '.htaccess'.

The latter solution requires some Apache skill, but it's more elegant than the first and more flexible than the second.
