rajivgonsalves Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 you should give something like <?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/includes/l.php"); ?> so it would be the absolute path... hope its helpfull Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/83228-solved-file-paths/#findComment-423376 Share on other sites More sharing options...

revraz Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 If its in the same folder, than just do include ("name.php"); If its in projects/filehost/includes then use include ("includes/name.php"); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/83228-solved-file-paths/#findComment-423530 Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviez Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 my file is in /projects/filehost/admin/ but the included file is in /projects/filehost/includes/ Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/83228-solved-file-paths/#findComment-423532 Share on other sites More sharing options...
revraz Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 include ("../includes/name.php"); should work as you first stated. You can also do include ("www.mydomain.com/projects/filehost/includes/name.php"); Post the include error you get when you use the first path.
