site root problem, iis

[simon551]

I'm working on a redesign of my enterprise site. The server administrator changed the IIS settings so you can type in the name of the site without typing the server name i.e. http://sitename instead of http://server/sitename. This works fine except for pages that have a site root based include. I'm not sure how to fix the problem.

I ran this code on both sites:

<?php 
$root=$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/folder/page.php'; 
echo $root;
?>

on the old site, the one that works the output is:

c:\inetpub\wwwroot/folder/page.php

 

on the new site, the one that isn't working it outputs:

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\sitename/folder/page.php

 

any ideas?

Just define the path yourself and use something like

set_include_path(get_include_path().PATH_SEPARATOR.'/inetpub/wwwroot/folder/');

 

within a common include (included on all pages)

Thanks! can you give an example how I would use that on a page?

 

instead of

require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/folder/page.php');

 

require_once(set_include_path(...));?

I haven't been able to figure out how to make this work. Any more advice you can give?

set_include_path(get_include_path().PATH_SEPARATOR.'/inetpub/wwwroot/folder/');
include('myfile.php');
