finaldesign1405241487 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2005 I recently had some problem with includes. So here it is, if you know solution lemme know... Problem: If you have one php file in your public_html/ folder, called index.php, and in that index.php you include another file which is in public_html/directory/file.php - and in that included file "file.php" there is another inclusion of public_html/directory2/file2.php how can you manage to work it out... ?It gets me lots of errors, and I end with solution that it can't be done, because if I include something in some file in root directory (e.q. index.php) script will stay executed in that directory (hipoteticly) and if I include file which has line of code in it self include("../directory2/file2.php"); what it really does it goes directory back beyond public_html and finds nothing... - complicated huh ? and I cannot change the code of that file.php because Im using it in another file and that file is in folder public_html/directory/ so that file needs that ".." part of code in include...How to solve this complication? any suggestion for different programming...?

chiiyo 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2005 Hmm... maybe use absolute URLs? Instead of using relative urls like "../directory/index.html" you could use "http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/; in your embedded file (in this case, file.php) so that you won't have to worry about the script staying in the first file and not budging.Not a very elegant solution, but it might work if you only have a few files with this problem.

Not a very elegant solution, but it might work if you only have a few files with this problem. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ii works in something like: <html> <head> <title>Include Sample</title> </head> <body> <?php include("header.php"); ?> <table width="95%" cellspacing="15" cellpadding="5" border="0"> <tr> <td valign="top" width="120"> <?php include("menu.php") ?> </td> <td valign="top"> <?php switch ($_GET['c']) { case '1': include("content" . $_GET['c'] . ".php"); break; case '2': include("../www/file2/content" . $_GET['c'] . ".php"); break; case '3': include("../www/file3/content" . $_GET['c'] . ".php"); break; default: include('content1.php'); break; } ?> </td></tr></table> <?php include("footer.php"); ?> </body> </html> The $_GET['c'] comes from: <p align="center" style="font:bold 1em sans-serif;color:#000099"> <a href="index.php?c=1">Home</a><br> <a href="index.php?c=2">Reality</a><br> <a href="index.php?c=3">Mision</a><br> </p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
