Include Help

[gilgimech]

I've got a header on my site. It has a menu on it that needs to include a script in order for it to work.

 

The problem I'm having, is that the include is requiring me to put the path to the script based on where the menu is being called from.

 

example:

• If I load the page index.php on the base dir. The path for the include on the menu needs to be /includes/include.php
  
• If I load the page contact/contact.php. The path for the include on the menu needs to be ../includes/include.php
  

 

How can I set the include path so it'll work on all pages?

try something like this:

$root = getenv("DOCUMENT_ROOT");
$inc = "/inc/some_file.php";
include($root.$inc);

just make sure that $inc is relative to $root

$root will show where your HTDOC root is (the root of your site)

It worked thanks.

 

What I was doing worked up until a couple of days ago. I don't get it.
