I am confusing myself reading the docs just now.
i.e.:
include_path
basename()
and dirname()
I had thought from many months ago that
<?php include '/somedir/somefile.php'; ?>
would include
somefile.php
living in
somedir
regardless from where in the site structure I am calling it.
Now it does not seem to be doing that.
What is the safest (portable) way to properly build an include path
*regardless* from where in my site I am calling the include?
If I understand right I can put includes in a dir/ specified by the
include_path setting, but I also want to know how to do this from
just within the root of my virtual server.

in my include statement, I am now successfully using:
/home/metheuser/public_html/
and am not anticipating moving this site.. but still I am thinking
there must be a way to make the code bullet proof to dir/ name changes
*after* the virtual server root.
Or do people just stop here?
Define a constant like APPLICATION_PATH in the bootstrap file of your
application. Once it is defined use the paths relative to this constant.
This way you can easily move your application around.

might be useful to you.
