sym links and PHP

[dico]

Hi There,

Question....

say I have all my php files in /home/sites/web...

underneath the /web directory i make a sym link to /someotherdirectory....

say i'm running a php script in the "someotherdirectory" and i reference a "../contents.inc"....

will the php script go up 1 directory (back to the directory that sent it to the sym link directory) to get that "contents.inc" file?

I am asking this as I have a script that i want many domains to access, however each "contents.inc" file is different.

Thanks,

Hi dico. If you refer to /contents.inc as opposed to just contents.inc then it will find it in your root web directory i.e home/sites/web.... so for example you can reference to "/thisdirectory/contents.inc" and it'll find it in home/sites/web/thisdirectory/contents.inc. I hope this helps..
I am not sure if this depends on what web server your running either....
