Hi

I'm a newbie to php and I'm using
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/includes/class.announcement.php");	

to import pages in php. This works fine on a windows environment. However
when I move this application to a linux environment the files dont get
imported properly. This is because in a windows environment $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] returns c:/xampp/htdocs etc.
but in a linux environment returns /home/servers etc.

How can this be rectified so that the path is properly picked up in a linux
environment
are you running apache on windows and linux?

if so, setup a .htaccess file that has a line in it that modifies the php include path

place that .htaccess at your web root and you won't have to play with paths, you would call
	require_once 'includes/class.announcement.php';   instead

Fix your include paths and you wont have to worry if the system will have what it should in the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].
