$workdir = "/full/path/to/script/";  <- Full Path

 

is it      http://www.whatever.com/dir/

 

or            "/www.whatever.com/dir/"

 

or            "/whatever.com/dir/"

 

I guess what i'm saying is how is the full path formulated

 

 

thanks rustang289

It's based on the server-root.

 

If you specify:

 

$workdir = '/some/dir';

 

It will look at the server for /some/dir (from the SERVER root, not the documentroot).

 

In PHP, you must work with absolute paths ex;

 

/home/someuser/public_html/

 

 

I recommend handling it thusly;

 

$include_dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/includes/';

 

This way, the full path to the file is known via the $_SERVER global variable.

 

echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; might show something like this;  /home/user/public_html

 

So, echo $include_dir ->  /home/usr/public_html/includes/
