[SOLVED] include path question

[suttercain]

Hi guys,

 

I have the includes of my file in the root directory and able to access the with no problem if I have a file located beneath that directory:

 

EXAMPLE:

<?php
include('../header.php') //This works from with the .php file in the www.domain.com/collectibles/ directory
?>

 

But I am unable to access the include files if I go two directories beneath:

 

EXAMPLE 2:

<?php
include('../header.php') //This DOES NOT WORK from with the .php file in the www.domain.com/collectibles/actionFigures directory
?>

 

With EXAMPLE 2 I get this error:

Warning: include(../header.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/superman/public_html/collectibles/actionFigures/index.php on line 10

Warning: include(../header.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/superman/public_html/collectibles/actionFigures/index.php on line 10

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '../header.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in /home/superman/public_html/collectibles/actionFigures/index.php on line 10

 

How do I rectify this issue? Thanks for the help!

its best to use full paths for includes I find.

So your includes should be:

 

<?php

include('/home/superman/public_html/collectibles/header.php');

?>

I am still getting the include error in my first post.

 

If the header.php is actually located at /home/superman/public_html/header.php' I would point it to /home/superman/public_html/collectibles/header.php' ?

This worked:

<?php include ('/home/superman/public_html/header.php'); ?>

Thats what I meant.
