Conditional includes in PHP

[phpDevNeeded]

Hi there,

Due to how our web servers are set up, my include file path has to be different on the live server vs the dev server.

On live, it is:

<?php
include('/blah/blah/blah/my_file.php');
?>

On dev, it is:

<?php
include('/blah/my_file.php');
?>

Is it possible to set up a conditional include in PHP?  i.e. On dev display one path, but on live display another path for the same file?

Thanks

Yes, you can use variables in your path, so you could define a separate prefix for each environment.

However, usually it's easier to use the built in __DIR__ constant and build a path that's relative to the current file.  For example:

include(__DIR__.'/my_file.php');
