[SOLVED] INCLUDE'ing to a different folder..?

[woolyg]

Hi all,

 

Pretty sure this has been asked before, but I can't find conclusive help on it.

 

I've got a file structure

 

-www (containing normal site files)

-www/inc (containing includes like db.php, session.php etc)

-www/accounts (containing an area for customer login)

 

I'm working on www/accounts/signup.php and am trying to use the following code:

 

<?php
include "/inc/session.php";
?>

 

...so that certain session elements can be set. however, I'm getting an error

 

Warning: include(/inc/session.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in E:\XAMPP\xampp\htdocs\mysite\accounts\signup.php on line 3 (I'm using Xampp as a testing server as well as my live server)

 

- I've tried various combo's of paths to the sessions file, but the server is not allowing a proper include to it.

 

How can I fix this?

 

Thanks,

Woolyg

Have you tried

 

include "inc/session.php";

 

If that doesn't work, try backslash instead of forward slash...?

I've tried those combinations, but no joy.

 

Can anyone shed some light please? Any help appreciated..it's saying

 

..No such file or directory in /home/myact/public_html/mysite/accounts/signup.php on line 2

The painful thing is, that if I add an INC folder to my www/accounts folder, the linking works... but I don't wanna have to add the INC folder to every added folder on the site!!!! Wah!

Think I've cracked it.

 

The issues with the includes were actually problems with the includes INSIDE the included files (if that makes sense). I put in absolute paths for them and all worked ... so far!
