Have you looked at phpinfo() to see what variables have been set on your

Subject: [PHP] $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] on localhost




hey there,

I include files outside the document root in my site.
include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].../inc.php ;

when I use this on the localhost it doesn't find this variable:
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']

which makes testing more annoying since I have to upload to my site all

the

time.

any ideas on the how and why???
thanks a lot

I run a fairly recent PHP version (4.2+) on my personal machine (IIS on 
Win2k pro), and it doesn't return a fair number of $_SERVER variables.  I 
just figured it was an IIS issue and worked around it.

No, PHP version.  With virtually no information, I'm going to guess that 
you're using a version below 4.1, which is where the $_* variables were 
introduced.  Upgrade or use $HTTP_SERVER_VARS.

Both sites are running winXP and IIS?  Both same version of IIS?
If the variable is on one and not on the other it could be either a version
conflict, or a configuration problem.

the document_root just doesn't show up in my phpinfo();

do windows machines have one anyway?
I have used this var before, just not testing it locally.

It normally shows up when I use phpifno on the server.

IIS may not have that variable.
You might want to install apache on your local machine so that you are using
the same tools.

Please check/compare the entries for doc_root = in the two PHP.INI files.
Are they the same/given a value. NB:

; The root of the PHP pages, used only if nonempty.
; if PHP was not compiled with FORCE_REDIRECT, you SHOULD set doc_root
; if you are running php as a CGI under any web server (other than IIS)
; see documentation for security issues.  The alternate is to use the
; cgi.force_redirect configuration below
;doc_root =;;

Regards,
=dn
