Re: [PHP-DB] Soft-Linking and includes
My limited understanding of Unix hard and soft links is that /www/dir2/subdir is not a directory, it is a pointer to the inode that is pointed to by /www/dir1/subdir. I think to accomplish what you want, /www/dir2/subdir would have to be a true directory, filled with soft links to each of the files in /www/dir1/subdir, or your include would need an explicit path. Jonathan Hilgeman wrote: I'm on a red hat system, and I've soft-linked two directories: /www/dir1/subdir /www/dir2/subdir -- /www/dir1/subdir Now, inside subdir is a file that tries to include(../info.php); which prints out some information about the file paths and my database stuff. So there's: /www/dir1/info.php /www/dir1/subdir/includer.php /www/dir2/info.php /www/dir2/subdir -- /www/dir1/subdir Now, when I run /www/dir2/subdir/includer.php, it SHOULD include the file ../info.php which translates into /www/dir2/info.php. However, the symbolic linking seems to have messed it up, and instead of running dir2's info.php, it seems to think it is in dir1, and instead includes dir1's info.php file. Has anyone run into this and/or know a fix for it? Thanks! - Jonathan -- Out beyond the ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing there is a field.

Re: [PHP-DB] Soft-Linking and includes
You must use absolute paths in includes. essentially the include will reference itself as the starting point, rather than the script you are calling it from. olinux --- Jonathan Hilgeman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm on a red hat system, and I've soft-linked two directories: /www/dir1/subdir /www/dir2/subdir -- /www/dir1/subdir Now, inside subdir is a file that tries to include(../info.php); which prints out some information about the file paths and my database stuff.

RE: [PHP-DB] Soft-Linking and includes
However, on a different, FreeBSD platform, this is not the case. A linked file can call an include and have the desired file be called instead of the source one. That's where I'm getting confused. - Jonathan -Original Message- From: olinux [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, March 08, 2002 12:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Soft-Linking and includes You must use absolute paths in includes. essentially the include will reference itself as the starting point, rather than the script you are calling it from. olinux --- Jonathan Hilgeman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm on a red hat system, and I've soft-linked two directories: /www/dir1/subdir /www/dir2/subdir -- /www/dir1/subdir Now, inside subdir is a file that tries to include(../info.php); which prints out some information about the file paths and my database stuff.
