Hi all

There's a way of specifying the relative path of php includes so it doesn't matter what directory they're in. Does that make sense?

It's to do with either php.ini or htaccess. Anyone know?

TIA

Jamie

Within you htaccess you can do something along the lines of

php_value include_path .:/path/that/you/want/to/use

im not sure on the exact apache declaration for either side of the syntax above.

Why not use a variable that specifies the root of the files, and then use that?

$location = 'path/to/your/files/';
include($location . 'file.php');
