Relative Paths

[cmb]

I have an admin section which requires a log in, and to accomplish this i do this

<?php
require('check.php');
?>

on the check.php page i have this line

<?php
require('../login/database.php');
?>

Now my problem is i have created another folder inside the admin one, for organization, and i still try and reference the check.php page but i get

require(../login/database.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\compfair\admin\check.php on line2

so i changed the link on check.php to ../../login/database.php and it works for the folder but for the admin folder stuff i get this error

require(../../login/database.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\compfair\admin\check.php on line2

So is their a way to make this work without having 2 check.php pages

You should use the full path from your webroot, rather than relative paths with ../
