files in another folder?

[Anon]

hi,

Im just wondering why my files dont work, when i put a php file in another folder for example

/home/user/public_html/test/file.php

what i wanted to do was add includes to this file when the included files are in the root directory.

ive tried setting up a variable for the root
like for example

$file_path = "/home/user/public_html/";

this is in another file within the directory and i have included this also.

now i get a server error saying that the url is wrong.

what am i doing wrong?

cheers simon

What code do you use? It's hard to give you help if we don't know what you did.

try this:
include('/home/user/public_html/test/file.php');

or this:
include('test/file.php');

ok if you want ot include files that are in the root directory try this

include('/home/httpd/html/file.php');

that should be where your root directory is.

The http root is different on every system. It depends on your configuration, your hosting company, your operastiong system, etc. Run phpinfo() to find where the root is.
