Zeradin Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I did a search for this and saw a lot of people asking similar questions, but all the ones that were solved seemed to have no replies. I don't get it. Anyway... real basic question: in my main folder i have my header.php, footer.php, css file and a folder called content in the content folder I have a template that has an include to ../header.php etc is there a way to make the include look at the things it refers to relative to itself rather than relative to the page that includes it? thanks guys Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/117166-different-include-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeradin Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 i don't have access to my php.ini file i'm looking for something i can put in the footer or in each page that allows the include to look for files from where it is Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/117166-different-include-problem/#findComment-602666 Share on other sites More sharing options...
samshel Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 you can use string set_include_path ( string $new_include_path ) in your case set_include_path ("./") Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/117166-different-include-problem/#findComment-602670 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeradin Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 for some reason I can't get it to work. I read in thephp manual that this sets the location of the include for the duration of the script so i'd put it in the header and footer... that didn't work... i also moved it to the template before the include calls. also, i messed around with making the path './', '../' '' '/' here's the script i'm currently using, the only one that doesn't generate tons of errors. sorry i'm so slow the template file has: <?php $page=array(); $page['title'] = 'TEMPLATE'; set_include_path('../'); include('hypheader.php'); ?> and <?php set_include_path('../'); include('../hypfooter.php'); ?> the header and the footer don't have anything different in them right now. getting closer at least.

wildteen88 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] instead. set_include_path is not what you need. Eg: include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/hypheader.php' PHP will always include hypheader.php from the root of your website, no matter how far down the directory tree the include command is taking place.

Zeradin Posted July 29, 2008 Author Share Posted July 29, 2008 well.. that got it to load the header, but the header is still trying to load things from where the page is, not where the header is located.... basically i get a blank page aside from some stuff in the footer that randomly works.
