ActaNonVerba1 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Hey guys. Basically i have a file containing Database connection information stored at the root of my site www.worldwidelighthouses.com/Lighthouses-Database-Connection-Information.php I want to be able to connect to it using pages such as www.worldwidelighthouses.com/Lighthouses/English-Lighthouses/Beachy-Head-Lighthouse.php and www.worldwidelighthouses.com/Lightships/Lightship1.php Obviously 1 is 1 directory down, one is 2 directories down. My server doesnt allow for include 'www.worldwidelighthouses.com/Lighthouses-Database-Connection-Information.php' So whats the best way to always find this file, no matter what directory i am in? Finding out how far away i am from the server root and adding ../ to the include for each folder down was my first idea. Is this best? Thanks, Danny.

ActaNonVerba1 Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 include( $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/file.php') works great, cheers. I tried something similar earlier, but didn't use the slash before the file name... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
