Like Michael said there is more than one way to deal with this.
I personally prefer to use this:
require_once ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/incl/myfile.php");
Unless the file needs to be kept outside of where the webserver serves
files.
Kim, this is exactly what I was looking for. I had been over $_SERVER
in the docs.. but somehow missed that basic obvious param. Thanks!
Sudeer, Shawn, Michael,
your efforts were not wasted either. I absorbed from you all and came
up with:
define('MY_DOC_ROOT', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
set_include_path(MY_DOC_ROOT . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path());
include 'MY_php_functions.inc';
which I call with:
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/MY_inc_php/incsInAllPages.inc';
really basic stuff.. humbling for me, coming from other languages/
environements where I was more expert.
..lucky me this is such a generous and compassionate group of people
here.
Thanks again
-Govinda
