Include Problems

[tony_smoothcode]

I have been having some problems with includes.

[background]
Apache running with Virtual Hosts and PHP 4.xx

[problem]

I have created a site thats uses includes and i m having problems including them.

I have created the site in a modular way, but when i try to include a file in one page it doesnt find it.

Is there anyway to set the include path without changing the php.ini? or can you set it to have multiple include paths?

Kind Regards

you can use ini_set() to set various php settings, like include_path

you can also do like this

include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/path/to/script.php';

Hi,

If i use this code

include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/path/to/script.php';

it sort of works, it links to the correct location, but the file still isnt included in the document.

if i do

echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/latest/functions/company_functions.php";

i get

/vhosts/test/htdocs/latest/functions/company_functions.php

which is the correct absolute path on the server. Am i missing somthing?

Kind Regards

i´m not a pro in apache and hosts, but i think you want to do something like crosscripting. this is normally not allowed by default, but i can not show you how to manage it.

if you only want to include a file which is in the same domain e.g. use:

include("../path/file.php");
