Using Connect Files?

[justlukeyou]

Hi,

 

I have a script which uses a connect file but I am struggling to get files in other folders to read and for the "$loggedIn = checkLogin();" code to work.

 

If I connect to the database within the same script it works straight away.

 

If I change my password then I have to change every file but otherwise I cannot include the connect file as I have to link to it locally.

 

So if the connect file is in:

 

www.domain.co.uk/php/login/connect.php

 

then

 

www.domain.co.uk/php/login/index.php -- this works

 

www.domain.co.uk/php/logout.php -- this doesn't regardless of how I link to the connect file.

In the file "login/index.php" I assume you have the code of..

require_once "connect.php";

 

In the file of "logout.php" you would need to alter the path to say..

require_once "login/connect.php";

 

Does this work?  If not then post some code and I'll take another look.
