change folder location

[lancealigiannis]

hi all

i'm trying to figure out how to change n include a hardcoded folder location with all its sub folders n files too..

 

eg.. fruitstore.com/greenfolder/apples

changed to..

eg.. fruitstore.com/bluefolder/berries

 

there r alot of references to this folder...

so i'd wanna keep the fruitstore.com/greenfolder

n have a php file in there redirecting to the new location..

 

then if ur really good...

a folder on a different domain too..

eg.. fruitshop.com/bluefolder/berries

 

u know how to do this?

or know where to look for it??

 

thnx,

lance.

So you have changed the name of a folder and you want to redirect to the new folder name? You could handle this using mod_rewrite, a few examples

 

You can also use mod_rewrite to redirect to your new domain too.

thnnx for that... i haven't changed the name of the original folder... just placed its contents elsewhere... i'll check out the examples... ta.

using some of them... all i got was a one way trip to a bad "require once" msg or sent to another domain... 

maybe php can include the files from another domain...

but wat about just moving the files around different subdirectories...

any more ideas?

 

basically i'm trying to use the same site framework without 2 different site setups...

To be clear mod_rewrite has no effect on PHP. It only effects url requests to the server.

Sounds to me you'd be better of running your 2 sites under two separate virtual hosts. Virtual hosts allows you to server to host multiple sites from the same server. Each site can have its own domain and document root.

You could then add your framework to a central location on the server and then add it to the include_path

i c.. i'm using this code below to get a file from a location... n it works great.. but i'm not sure how to implement the get all folder structure however..

include_path=".:/newlocation/folders-n-files"

<?php


/** Absolute path to the config directory. */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
    define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');


/** Location of your config configuration. */
require_once(ABSPATH . '../config.php');
