fatkatie Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I run a php script in three main environments. Unique environment parameters/defs are defined in a file defs.php. This file must run first in any script. I'm trying to figure out how to find it. A php script can light up anywhere, so I have three ideas about how to do this. Input please. 1. Distribute the def.php as linked files in all the directories which contain php scripts that use it. In windows I think its a copy option only. This is small file so I'm not worried about casting it about. 2. Do an logic thing like: if ((include '/xampp/htdocs/news/defs.php') == false) { include '/home/networkHALTSTANK/public_html/news/defs.php'; } 3. Use the Apache server somehow to do this ... which I'll investigate if someone will please point the way. One of the Apache servers resides on a godaddy unix share so I don't have access to all the switches. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatkatie Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 Thought of a 4th option. Perhaps just do a require_once, 3 times; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archive Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] ... defs.php and then add whatever path you are using to get to the defs.php file. Only have one version of the file, otherwise it will be a nightmare to keep up to date and pointless having it in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
