[SOLVED] Need Help Fast Link issues

[Danny620]

i have a file that requires another file but the problem is that the file that requires another file is in a lower director e.g D:\STG\security_zone\login.php

and it needs to require a file in a upper directory called e.g D:\STG\settings\config.inc how would i get the log-in to require that file

 

this is what i got so far "require_once ('settings/config.inc.php'); " this is in the log-in file.

I'm asumming D:\STG\ is your sites document root folder? In which you can use

require_once ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/settings/config.inc.php');

 

Or you can use ../ to go up a level in the directory tree

require_once ('../settings/config.inc.php');

thanks alot i will try that but i have another problem

 

An error occurred in script 'C:\xampp\htdocs\login.php' on line 6: include(includes/header.html) [function.include]: failed to open stream: Permission denied

Most likely the file (or that file's parent directory) you are trying to include is not readable by the web server. Be sure your web server have access to read the directory and file (not sure how to do that on a Win. box).

Green is the Bitlocker encryption feature if I remember correctly.

 

 

There's no way that was accidentally turned on lol...

 

 

And PHP should have still been able to get into it.  What ever works though.
