Obviously, if you are going to be calling OS based tools from PHP, you'll need to realpath() or use \\ or DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR. -- Richard Quadling Twitter : EE : Zend : PHPDoc @RQuadling : e-e.com/M_248814.html : bit.ly/9O8vFY : bit.ly/lFnVea -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Path question.
Yes, can be. There is a predefined variable DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, which you
can use:
on index.php let's say
define('DS',DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR');
define('MY_APP_ROOT',dirname(realpath(__FILE__)));
define('LIB_DIR',MY_APP_ROOT.DS."..".DS."location".DS."file");

Subject: [PHP] Path question.
I have a few scripts that use "../location/file"
Is this interpreted differently on some systems?
Thanks.

Jack That's just a different between absolute and relative paths. If you want to provide local files to a local script, then use "includes/include_file.php" -- that simply means in the same directory as the calling script there is a directory named "include" and within that directory is a file named "include_file.php". Try it. Sometimes people make this out to be harder than it is.

As a first action, in whatever file you first include or call, do the
following:
$site_path = realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
define ('SITE_PATH', $site_path);
Next, create a function like:
function include_path($filename)
{
$str = SITE_PATH . 'include' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $filename;
return $str;
}
Now, when you want to include a file, do
include(include_path('something.php'));
In my projects, I have a variety of directories, like libraries, views,
models, etc. So the function I use has a second parameter:
include(fullpath('model', 'pizza.php'));
include(fullpath('include', 'gesundheit.php'));
