Using include in a different directory

[plutarck]

I have a global.php file in my /inc directory that I want to include in a file.

In my normal directory I can just do a:
include ("inc/global.php")

However the script I want to use global.php in is /welcome/welcome.php

What do I need to put in the include line to step up one directory, then go down into the /inc directory?

I can't use the full path to the file because I want to be able to have the files work on any server regardless of the path, as long as it has the proper directory listening.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,

You said one directory right?!!
So the welcome & ini directories are in the same directory
html_public//welcome/welcome.php &
html_public/inc/global.php

If this is the case just put ../ infront of that directory.

like this:
../directory/file.php

C'est facile.

Woohoo, thanks! It works perfectly.

Now I found about 5 more bugs to solve...I do so love it when a plan comes together 😉
