Includes?

[move3rd]

Hi,

I'm trying to include I file that is in the directory above my script but I'm getting this error:

Warning: main(/junglejar/db.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/junglej/public_html/junglejar/admin/index.php on line 2

Warning: main(): Failed opening '/junglejar/db.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/junglej/public_html/junglejar/admin/index.php on line 2

My script:

<?
include ("/junglejar/db.php");

$page_title = "my page"; //Page Title
$page_keywords = "my page"; //Page Keywords
$page_description = "my page"; //Page Keywords

include ("/junglejar/header.php");

?> 

The script above is here:
mydomain.com/junglejar/admin/index.php

The files I'm trying to include are:
mydomain.com/junglejar/db.php
mydomain.com/junglejar/header.php

Thanks

include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/junglejar/db.php"); 

Absolute includes are absolute to the actual machine root.

And, in this situation, you could use a relative include:

include ",,/db.php";

without issues as well.

But it can get confusing when you start nesting stuff. It is, however, handy for including things outside your document root, etc. etc.
