[SOLVED] how to use dirname(_file_)?

[sayedsohail]

Hi,

 

I just wish to include two directories in my config.php file so when the user type a.php it will be served from directory a and if the user type b.php it will be served from directory b which is a subdirectory of directory a.

 

require_once( dirname( __FILE__ ) .  );

 

Can someone advise how to do this?

dirname() just returns the path part of a filename...

Are you wanting:

if(strcmp($fn, "a.php") == 0)
{
   require_once("a/a.php");
}
elseif(strcmp($fn, "b.php") == 0)
{
   require_once("a/b/b.php");
}

thanks for that,

 

i am trying to achieve somthing like this

 

from my url if i type localhost/a/a.php it will dsiplay a.php, now i wish to call b.php using the same url address i.e, localhost/a/b.php instead of localhost/a/b/b.php, since b.php is stored under the subdirectory of directory (a).

If you want the url to be rewritten use mod_rewrite (an apache module), otherwise you could redirect (with 'header') or just include b in a...
