Opening Files with PHP

[Kestrell_Kestre]

I am trying to open excel documents with php. I can get it to open if I specify the whole file path, but I don't really want to hardcode that in. Is there a way that you can do something like html where it assumes that if you go like

$slowSim->Workbooks->Open(data\spline5\sims\RS5D4FFFFVG0.0.xls') or die ('failed opening slow sim');

it will assume that the data folder is in the same folder as the page? And then you can use the ..\ commands to move around like html?

Thanks!

try putting a subdirectory into your php_include directory, then make the link "subdirectory/imagename.gif"
