Include From Multiple Locations

[tarun]

Its more typing that way, sometimes ../ is better, but, say you want to call up a page from 3 different locations on your server, a stats page for example.  if you use ../stats.php, wherever you call it up from it will think that you mean ../ relative to that location, if you use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] it will know exactly where the page you are looking for is located.  ../ is mostly guesswork, that is why I prefer the $_SERVER method.

 

Okay I Saw This Quote Somewhere And It Exactly What I Need Answering

Some people like to do

 

require $_SERVER['document_root'] . '/path/to/my/file.php';

 

this isn't what I do but I'll spare you the explanation and just leave it at that

Rather Than "require" I NEED!!! To Use "file"

... then do it?

 

$file = file($_SERVER['document_root'] . '/path/to/my/file.php');
