[RESOLVED] Outside htdoc

[NeedaCart]

i know its possible to create directories outside of the webroot, which makes it inaccessable.

I was thinking about putting some files there, then i would use the include() function to put them into files which are in the webroot (the htdocs directory).

but how would i do that? /file.php dosent go down that far, its the level below!

../file.php is probably what you need.

If you're including files, /file.php is the root directory, which I highly doubt is the location of the file.

You can use relative paths as Houdini suggested (each ../ means one directory up from the current), or use absolute paths (/home/myUsername/example.php).

yep, exactly what i needed!
