PHP Relative links not working

[beh]

Hi Everyone,

 

Quick questions. I've recently installed the latest version of PHP running on IIS 6 (XP Pro). When running the following the following code:

 

	function getFile($vFile)
{
	if (function_exists('file_get_contents'))
    	{
      		$vString = @file_get_contents ($vFile);

	}
	else
	{
		$vString = implode('', @file($vFile));
	}

	if (!$vString)
	{
		echo "[$vFile] does not exist.";
		exit;
	}
	else return $vString;
}

 

When $vFile is a relative path it fails. When using an absolute path it works fine. This is consistent across all file commands including is_file etc.

 

Can anyone help? I presume that this is something to do with an ini setting or iis?

 

Regards,

 

Paul

You would need to give an example of a link that works and one that does not work. It is likely you are writing it incorrectly.

 

Are you trying relative file system paths or URL's? A file system path is relative to the current working directly of the main script that is running. Using a URL in php function that normally operates on file system paths, requires a fully qualified URL (http://domain/path/file)
