Don't necessarily disagree with you there other than if you place the
includes outside the web accessible folders how do you address the
managers of virtual hosts for the ability to modify, delete or add to
their particular include file? Additionally, how do you address
the naming convention of the include file.
i.e.
Site 'A' is using config.php
Site 'B' is using config.inc.php
Site 'C' wants to use config.php
T include('somefile.php');
T and it will be found regardless of where the script is located.
That's true enough..
BTW, good to see another TheBat! user here.
Thanks again.

I only do stuff for my own server which actually creates a couple
of server variables called:
SERVER[DOMAIN_ROOT] and SERVER[PHPINCDIR] which have the same
values as the script we just cobbled together for each virtual
domain.
I don't suffer from the problem of lack of access to the
include directory, So all my domains follow this layout:
/usr/local/apache/domains/domain1.com //root and chroot for ftp
access
/usr/local/apache/domains/domain1.com/www web document root
/usr/local/apache/domains/domain1.com/include for all include files
If a hosting provider locks you in to the document root it's time to
change provider :)
As for naming convention I use .inc and stop apache from serving .inc
files.

Oh, very close. Although you have it at $document_root and all
that needs to be added is '/include' like below:
$include = $document_root . '/include';
Otherwise it's one directory too far up because you're replacing the
site root 'test' (in this case) with 'include'.
We wanted: 'C:/Sambar/docs/test/include'
Here's from your script.
Site root:
**
File name: C:/Sambar/docs/test/test.php
Script: /test.php
Document root: C:/Sambar/docs/test
Base: test
Include: C:/Sambar/docs/include
OS: winnt
Include: C:/Sambar/docs/include;.;C:\php5\pear
**
Site root/folder1
**
File name: C:/Sambar/docs/test/folder1/test.php
Script: /folder1/test.php
Document root: C:/Sambar/docs/test
Base: test
Include: C:/Sambar/docs/include
OS: winnt
Include: C:/Sambar/docs/include;.;C:\php5\pear
**
Site root/folder1/folder2
**
File name: C:/Sambar/docs/test/folder1/folder2/test.php
Script: /folder1/folder2/test.php
Document root: C:/Sambar/docs/test
Base: test
Include: C:/Sambar/docs/include
OS: winnt
Include: C:/Sambar/docs/include;.;C:\php5\pear
**
After my change:
File name: C:/Sambar/docs/test/folder1/folder2/test.php
Script: /folder1/folder2/test.php
Document root: C:/Sambar/docs/test
Base: test
Include: C:/Sambar/docs/test/include
OS: winnt
Include: C:/Sambar/docs/test/include;.;C:\php5\pear
The other two folders moving back up the tree are the same result.
So the final looks like:
if(isset($_SERVER[SCRIPT_FILENAME])){
$file_name = str_replace('\\','/',$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);
echo File name: $file_namebr;
$script = str_replace('\\','/',$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);
echo Script: $scriptbr;
$document_root = str_replace($script,'',$file_name);
echo Document root: $document_rootbr;
$base = basename($document_root);
echo Base: $basebr;
//$include = str_replace($base,'include',$document_root);
$include = $document_root . '/include';
echo Include: $includebr;
$os = strtolower(PHP_OS);
echo OS: $osbr;
$lk = ':';
$org_include = ini_get(include_path);
if(preg_match('/^win/i',$os)) $lk = ';';
ini_set(include_path,$include.$lk.$org_include);
echo Include: .ini_get(include_path).br;
}
It's a great effort and looks bulletproof. Can you shoot any holes in
mine? A full explanation at:
http://www.devtek.org/tutorials/dynamic_document_root.php
I only throw mine back out there because it's shorter. I think it's
solid, but only because I haven't broken it yet. :-)
Both our solutions suffer the same problem. They have to be on every
page that requires an include, because we can't rely on a new host
having our code in their auto_prepend file
**
function dynRoot()
{
$levels = substr_count($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],/);
for ($i=0; $i $levels - 1; $i++)
{
$relativeDir .= ../;
}
return $relativeDir;
}
include(dynRoot() . 'includes/somefile.php')
**
Thanks again!
Cheers,
Leif Gregory

I do this for security as I have things in include that I don't want
to be avaiable directly to the browser Also you don't need a path for include
files you can just do:
include('somefile.php');
and it will be found regardless of where the script is located.
