chantown Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 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?

chantown Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 I'm not sure if this is a APACHE setting or something? (Do I have to change it through HTACCESS?)

corbin Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 That should work fine as long as the target file exists.... If you switched from Windows to Linux, it's worth noting that on Linux, filenames are casesensative, where as on Windows they're not.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 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.
