linking from root dir ?

[gotenxds]

is there a way in php to link from the root dir ?

 

like in html you just use the '/' at the start for the link " <a herf="/link.php" ></a> "

 

but i noticed this does not work when using php like include or require.

 

so is there anywey to tell a link to start from root dir? without using the ../../link.php

Yes, the file related functions like require and include work with the filesystem path. 

 

Try this out:

 

$docroot = realpath($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
echo $docroot;
