Subject: [PHP] Best practice question regarding set_include_path()
For my applications, I've been using includes and other file addressing by
using the doc root as the base dir. e.g.
require_once $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] .
'/miniRegDB/includes/miniRegDBconfig.php';
Recently, I ran into a problem with a new installation on a shared host
where the doc root was assigned in an unusual manner. I rather not require
setting a custom base dir [instead of $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']'] for my
applications.
So, I was wondering if it would be good practice to use the
set_include_path() and add the base dir for my applications. I've used this
for dealing with Pear function files on shared servers and had no problems.
Need some guidance regarding this subject.
Thanks

I use define to set the application path
define('BASE_PATH','C:\\inetpub\\vhosts\\yourwebsite.com\\httpdocs\\');
Example:
require_once (BASE_PATH. '/miniRegDB/includes/miniRegDBconfig.php');
works great for JQuery paths
script
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#dareport').html('img src=?php echo BASE_URL;?images/loading.gif
/');
});
/script
To me it is much better than set_include_path() but works in the same
premise

I tend to use a slightly more portable version:
define('APP_ROOT',dirname(__FILE__));
in a configuration file. (If the configuration file happens to be at a
different depth than the main application file(s), I stack on more
dirname's to get back to the application root.)
Similarly, I usually need an application URL path. This can be
trickier, depending on how you structure your application. This
generally works for the applications I develop:
define('APP_URL_BASE','http://'.$_SERVER['HOST_NAME'].dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']));
