a php file with file name and path to be used in other scripts

[Archimedees]

 

I want to create a php file that I will include in all my files to enable my scripts  find  specs.conf file which they require in order to execute. I was thinking of something like

 

 

<?php

// define  specs.conf name and path

define("specsname", "Specs.conf");

define("specspath", "home/ragley/config/space.conf");

<?

 

Now, let's suppose this was working, I would then include it in all of my scripts that need to use specs.conf

Please  assist  me find out why it doesn't work.

It's not clear what you are asking for.

Are you saying that what you want to know is how to include this file?

 

<?php
include('dir/path/filename.php');
?>

 

Add this to all scripts you want to include the file in.

Can some body please show me the correct way of defining a constant for a file name using define ();  Please?

there is little wrong with your define statement.  Usually it is best practive to use uppercase for your constants, but that is neither here nor there.

 

Try turning on errors in your php.ini file or use ini_set() <- look in the manual.  And see where the error may lie.

 

It is probably down to spelling or you directory path.

 

Are you meant to use "specsname" instead of "space.conf" it seems there is no need to use that constant!

 

as themistral says, it is unclear what u are asking and i know it can be frustrating, but many people will ignore your pleas if you don't ask nicely.

 

good luck
