Re: include, relative path

Hi everybody,

I'm having a stupid problem with the include command.
I looked around and I found some solutions but, I don't know why, they
don't work at all.

Briefly, this is the structure of my website:

mysite/libraries/db_details.php
mysite/registration/check.php

I need to connect to the database from the script "check.php", and the
details of the database are in "db_details.php", of course... ;-)

so, I have to include "db_details.php" from "check.php" script...

I'm under linux and I've tried so many different solutions without
success, maybe because of the PHP version (5.2.3)... and some
solutions I found were a bit old (2002, 2003) and so I thougth they
could not to work any more.

Here some of them,

ini_set("include_path",".:/libraries");

set_include_path('mysite/libraries/');

include('/..//libraries/db_details.php');

include("../registration/db_details.php");

include "db_details.php";

I'm fed up with that...

any help would very appreciated!!!

Thanks in advance

PS: I don't want to change php.ini settings because I couldn't do it
on my hosting server...


Use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] to get to the root directory of your website, then reference from there, i.e.

include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/libraries/db_details.php');
