lonewolf217 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 what is the folder structure of the include files as opposed to the folders containing the pages you are including on ?

supergrame Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 Yes that worked fine but what i really want to require is this require_once '../includes/login.inc.php'; and that does not work. is that because of the includes DIR or maybe the .inc part. confusing stuff Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/149312-directoy-structure-issue-i-think/#findComment-784249 Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonewolf217 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 what if you just remove the dots from before /includes. since Includes is a root level folder it should pick it up properly that way. having a single "." before it means you are starting in the CURRENT directory and looking for that folder which i dont think you want Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/149312-directoy-structure-issue-i-think/#findComment-784263 Share on other sites More sharing options...
samshel Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 i think it has nothing to do with filename.. it checks the relative path when it tries to include the file. example: index.php members/members.php includes/config.inc.php in index.php you can.. include("members/members.php"); include("includes/config.inc.php"); as from the DIR where index.php is, it can access the two folders and files inside them.. to include config.inc.php from members.php include("../includes/config.inc.php"); as members.php is inside members folder, it will have to look up the includes folder one level up (and hence ../) from where it is located.
