Shadowing Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 I just realize another problem now since im adding folders If I have a header going to folderA/folderB/file.php and while im reading that file if i have any php include files in the script it wont read it from folder B guess there is no way around that?

jcbones Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Yes, there is. Specify an absolute file path. Includes will always read according to the called script. So, if you have scriptA in folderA that includes a file in folderB, that includes another file from folderB. PHP will not find this file if it is passed a relative file path, because PHP will be looking in the directory that scriptA is residing in (folderA). To get passed this, you must specify an ABSOLUTE FILE PATH. include(dirname(__FILE__) . '/myincludedfile.php'); //will include a file in the same directory as the current file. include(dirname(__FILE__) . '/folderB/myincludedfile.php'); //will look on folder down for the file.
