adambeazley Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Whats up everyone, Ive always used include (relative/path.php); and I am in a situation where I have a CMS (content management System) and I need to access my include directory globally. in other words I cant do ../../relative/path.php. Is it cool to use the full server path like below? include (/var/www/html/my/path/to/files.php); Are there security implications of doing this? Also can I have my includes directory above the public directory? If /var/www/html/ is my public directory, can I have my includes directory in /var/www/includes ? thanks Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjtocool Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I'm not sure, but I do something like the following: <?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/header.php"); ?> Maybe there is a similar statement for something above the root directory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjtocool Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 http://us.php.net/reserved.variables Look at SCRIPT_FILENAME or SCRIPT_NAME, maybe that will help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
