L Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Hey, sorry if this has been asked before but i couldn't find it in the search... but anyway my problem is that my a.php page is in a folder called main in the root...so the url would be http://www.mysite.com/main/a.php But when I try to have an include like include("includes/z.php"); nothing shows up...the include doesn't seem to show up. Is there anyway I can fix this? P.S. root/main/a.php and root/includes/z.php those are the locations of the files...so im not sure what im doing wrong.

trq Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Bets to use.... <?php include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/z.php'; ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/61042-help-on-includesnot-linking-corrrectly/#findComment-303769 Share on other sites More sharing options...
L Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 <?php include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/z.php'; ?> that doesn't seem to work, but include("../includes/z.php"); seems to work for me...if i had a file deeper from the root would i just have it like include("../../../z/z.php ~L Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/61042-help-on-includesnot-linking-corrrectly/#findComment-303771 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTechie Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 infact thorp i have a question also i had a script which i moved from one server to another and it stopped working.. it was down to the fact i used <?php include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/z.php'; ?> , which was pretty standard in my code.. instead i used dirname(__FILE__)."/../includes/z.php" , which seams to work but is their a "standard" ?

MadTechie Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 maybe use the full path /home/public_html/includes or dirname(__FILE__)."/../includes/z.php" Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/61042-help-on-includesnot-linking-corrrectly/#findComment-303785 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFilmGod Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 This is how I do it --> On the root of the server I have folder called "element" the folder where all my includes are. This is a page: <?php // define page elements $root = "../element/"; // header include include ($root.'header.php'); ?> <body> </body> <!-- HTML BODY END --> <!-- Footer Include --> <?php // footer must be included include ($root.'footer.php'); ?> This is an example. $root is the path name to the root of the server. If you are editing the index you would leave it empty, if its one directory in its ../element and 2 directories in it would be ../../element. This works for me. I hope it works for you.
