sKunKbad Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I've got a configuration file, and it includes my database connection, but when the configuration file is loaded/included from different directory levels, it fails. So I created a script that is working to include from whatever directory the script happens to be in at the time, but I'm wondering if anyone sees any problem with this, or if anyone has a better solution. I know that if I am on a linux server then the slashes are back-slashes, but I'm not concerned with that so much right now. Is this going to be reliable? define("PATH", dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])); $slash_count = substr_count(PATH,"/"); // finding where I am compared to root by counting slashes for ( $i=0; $i<$slash_count-1; $i++) { $slashes .= '../'; } require_once $slashes . "db_conn.inc.php"; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/131125-include-from-different-directories/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian-Mage Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 If you know the absolute path (The path from root) then just use that. E.g include("/opt/lampp/htdocs/db.conf.php"); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/131125-include-from-different-directories/#findComment-680814 Share on other sites More sharing options...
