Using includes

[ferret219]

When I use includes on my site, I have usually had the conf.php file in the same folder as the web page which will be using it and everything has worked fine, but when I have tried to tidy up my folder structure and put all of the includes in the same folder, the page gives me an error. The code which I am using is below.

 

include("/../includes/conf.php");

i dont know, but you could try removing the first slash

 

include("../includes/conf.php");

 

or you could try using ' instead of "

 

EDIT = by the way, what is the error ?

Tried, and failed.  The problem is still persisting.

[chocopi]

so what is the actual error message ?

there isn't one as such, it just isn't pulling the variables which I have set in the include file.

If there are no errors, then you can assume that the relative path to the include file is correct.  If it isn't 'pulling the variables' then there's something wrong with your code, e.g. the variables are wrongly defined, the variable names don't match your expectations (spelling, case, etc.)  In the absence of visible code, there isn't much more anyone can do.
