Php include help

This works:

<?php $thispath = "/home/user/somedomain.com/public_html/somefolder/" ?>
<?php include $thispath.'navigation.php'; ?>

PHP:

This does not:

 <?php include '/somefolder/navigation.php'; ?>

PHP:

Is there a workaround?

 

Use:

<?php include 'somefolder/navigation.php'; ?>

PHP:

Because your using /somefolder/navigation.php it is tryignt o include the root linux folder somefolder, so remove the first / to use somefolder in the scripts directory

 

What if the script is called from

someotherfolder/subfolder/script.php

will the

<?php include 'somefolder/navigation.php'; ?>

PHP:

work?

The directory structure is

public_html/somefolder


public_html/somefolder/navigation.php


public_html/someotherfolder/subfolder


public_html/someotherfolder/subfolder/script.php

 

<?php include './somefolder/navigation.php'; ?>

that would work too

 

<?php include '../navigation.php'; ?>

PHP:

[B].[/B] - current directory
[B]..[/B] - previous directory
[B]/somepath[/B] - assumes that somepath is in the root folder
[B]somepath/[/B] - assumes that somepath is in the current directory

Code (markup):

 

I just decided to use

<?php include $_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT].'/somefolder/navigation.php'; ?>

PHP:

and it works fine.

Thanks everyone!
