Include problem

[Anon]

Hi.

When I include on my local pc I use:

include ("file.php");

But when I upload to my ISP I get this error:

Warning: Failed opening 'd:\home\absnetdk\www\file.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in ...

So I use:

include ("d:\home\absnetdk\www\file.php");

And then it works, but not on my machine.

Is there a way to fix this, so I don't have to edit all my files that use include.

Thanks in advantage.

Use:
include("$DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/file.php");

I think tha'l should do it. Correct me if I'm wrong?

Yep, that will work. Your other option is to create a folder in your webroot to store all your PHP includes files (let's call it "php_incudes") then place the following line above all include() and require() calls in your scripts:

ini_set("includes_dir", $HTTP_SERVER_VARS["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/php_includes");

You can now reference your includes files on both servers (local and remote) using the same include() calls as your scripts will adapt the includes directory based on the server environment. HTH.

$path1 = dirname($PATH_TRANSLATED);

include(\"$path1/file.php\");
