[SOLVED] requiring files using absolute path

[sachavdk]

Hi,

 

I'm having a problem here that confuses me a little.

I'm working on

http://157.176.112.4/site/en-uk/read-guestbook/index.php

and I'd like to require

http://157.176.112.4/inc/ModuleLoader.php

but using

require_once( "/inc/ModuleLoader.php" );

gives me an error:

 

PHP Warning: main(/inc/site.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in J:\WEBSERVER\www\beta\site\en-uk\read-guestbook\index.php on line 2 PHP Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/inc/site.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in J:\WEBSERVER\www\beta\site\en-uk\read-guestbook\index.php on line 2

 

file_exists( "/inc/ModuleLoader.php" ); fails as well.

using require_once( "../../../inc/ModuleLoader.php" ); does work.

any suggestions?

 

thanks

 

edit: I can't use relative paths because the structure of the <site> class isn't really written to deal with this.

to obtain this you may need a site ini in each folder site ini is were you define the location of each folder or include you need

Which variable(s) should I set in there?

Because there are a lot of them it seems.

i dont know it your work so its hard to  tell but in each folder you have to define the path that need to be include in every page

 

you said this works

using require_once( "../../../inc/ModuleLoader.php" ); does work.

 

then define them

define it like

define('folder1', "../../../inc/" );

 

now you can use folder1 to determine the location you need

Oh yeah

 

That'll do fine I guess...

that is what actually the usual design of a site having lots of subsite i guess time to mark this solved
