drbigfresh Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I am trying to design my application so that it can more or less figure out where it is installed, but I keep running into issues with all my include files. For the most part I've been using something like include_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/config/MainVars.php'); which works fine, unless I install my whole application into a folder, at which point it would be something like this: include_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . [some install folder]. '/config/MainVars.php'); What methods are people using to make their applications more portable? I would love to just be able to set an install folder variable somewhere, and have it accessibly everywhere.... Thanks!

Fyorl Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 Usually for portability I have the whole application in a folder. That way you can use relative filepaths in your includes.
