neven Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Hi, I have the define(); function where i need to put the variable for directory name which is relative ... How to do that ... <?php if (TARGET_PLATFORM == FILE_SYSTEM_PLATFORM) { /** * if FILE_SYSTEM_PLATFORM is selected as TARGET_PLATFORM, * then assign root folder adress to FILE_ROOT macro */ define("FILE_ROOT", "$diro"); } public function __construct($fileRoot) { if (is_dir($fileRoot)) { $this->fileRoot = $fileRoot; //if ($this->fileRoot[strlen($this->fileRoot) - 1] != '/' ) { // $this->fileRoot .= '/'; //} } else { die($fileRoot .' is not a directory '); } } ?> When i go with this, it says this: " 'dir name ' is not a directory". But I need the variable for this to work as I want to. Does anyone have an idea? To make it clear, this is only the small part of code, which is a part of the directory root for the directory tree.

gizmola Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 You have not provided enough of a description of your problem nor enough code to understand what is going on. One thing I can tell you: define("FILE_ROOT", "$diro"); The quotes do nothing helpful. define("FILE_ROOT", $diro); Would be the right use. If you are hoping that this will act like a macro -- that is not how define works. It creates a constant at the point that define() is called, so FILE_ROOT will be set to whatever the value of $diro is. I'm not sure how that figures into your problem or the rest of the code that you didn't provide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmola Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Ok, well I can see the intention of these constants is to use either a db or some filesystem based storage. Since you're using filesystem storage it appears that define("FILE_ROOT", "store"); Needs to be the directory path to the place where whatever is being stored, will be stored, you need an actual operating system specific path -- something like: define("FILE_ROOT", "/home/someuser/public_html/store"); I have no idea what this variable should be, and this is based on the assumption this constant gets passed to constructor for the object of whatever class you partially pasted. If that assumption is correct, then this needs to be a real path, and not just some relative variable like "store". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try my suggestion and see if that fixes things, as I think it might. Ok i understand what is the real path ... it works with real path and it shows me all directorys in that path ...but i need the variable. so that when user won't see the directory . He seas only one directory that he own by id or in this case $diro variable... UNDERSTAND ? so how can I doo that with this script ? If you can giv me some opinion ...please regards .

gizmola Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 As far as I can see, if you have a variable that contains the path to the user's home/base directory, then setting that in the define will work. It needs to be the full path to that directory however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmola Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 You might try this: define('FILE_ROOT', 'store' . self::FOLDER_SEPARATOR . $variable); However, the FILE_ROOT must be a path to a directory that apache has the rights to.

I have tried this. $diro is the name of the directory That name is also stored in the data base from where I am geting the variable, 'htdocs/store' is the real path to the $diro directory ....But no luck I don't get even the error with this ... define('FILE_ROOT', 'htdocs/store' . self::FOLDER_SEPARATOR . $diro); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmola Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 neven, 'htdocs/store' is not the real path to anything. That is a relative path. It will only work if the script that is running that code has a subdirectory of htdocs. If you don't have a / at the front of the path it is a relative path. Also, it appears you testing this on a windows machine, and the directory seperator for windows is different from unix. That is why I suggested teh use of self:FOLDER_SEPERATOR. This is really a simple concept, and if you don't understand it, you are not going to get this working. At this point, I don't have any other suggestions for you -- perhaps you should pay someone to get it setup for you, because really, anyone who understands the idea would be able to get this working with very little effort. I'm not getting enough information from you to continue to try and debug it for you, and this isn't really of value to the community at large, because you are trying to modify a script that was written by someone else for your own purposes, and those purposes aren't really clear.

This is really a simple concept, and if you don't understand it, you are not going to get this working. At this point, I don't have any other suggestions for you -- perhaps you should pay someone to get it setup for you, because really, anyone who understands the idea would be able to get this working with very little effort. I'm not getting enough information from you to continue to try and debug it for you, and this isn't really of value to the community at large, because you are trying to modify a script that was written by someone else for your own purposes, and those purposes aren't really clear. U are right... Thanks .Unti now I haven't modify someone else script ...Lesson learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
