Relative Paths to files (changing host)

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

When I had my first server, I could do this:

 

include("misc/file.php");

 

But today when I changed my server, my "relative" paths could not hold anymore.

 

(My site was developed in relative path mode...I didn't have any absolute includes)

 

Why is it now when I change servers it doesn't work anymore?

The problem is likely that the include_path does not include the dot . to get relative includes to look in the current working directory -

 

Example I.1. Unix include_path

 

 

include_path=".:/php/includes"

 

Example I.2. Windows include_path

 

 

include_path=".;c:\php\includes"

 

Find out what your include path is (and was on the previous server if possible). It is a good bet that the dot . portion is not present.
