How to find the path of a specific file?

[ghe]

Good Day to all,

 

Ahm, does anyone here know how can i make a function that get the filepath of a specific file?

 

I want to create a function like this:

- getFilePath('A_file_with_an_unknown_path.inc');

then the function will return the path of the file with an unknown path/directory.

 

Is this possible? If not, can anyone tell me how can I be able to include a file with an unknown filepath/directory?

 

- require_once('???/???/???/A_file_with_an_unknown_path.inc');

 

Please help.

 

Thank you in advance.

You can't do anything without knowing the path in the first place.

 

You can do a search but if you have 2 or more files the same, how can you tell which is the right file.

 

It sounds like very bad programming logic to attempt to include scripts that you don't know the path of.
