Re: [PHP] Re: help condensing regular expressions
Hi I have never used .htaccess but I'll read up on it, I am the ISP so it won't be a problem :) Tom At 06:12 PM 6/04/2002, Chris Adams wrote: In article [EMAIL PROTECTED], Tom Rogers wrote: Thats what I was after :) Glad I could help.

Or has your ISP disabled .htaccess files?

Re: [PHP] Re: help condensing regular expressions
Hi Yes that would be fine for the html examples I gave but the real use is for php to find the include directory which I keep out of the server tree, one directory back like this include($relative_root.../include/mysql_connect.inc) Each domain has its own include directory which I want to keep seperate from the default php include directory set in php.ini The other thing is that this gets rid of the include file inside included file problem as long as I set $relative_root at the top level.

RE: [PHP] Re: help condensing regular expressions
Hi For some reason $DOCUMENT_ROOT always points to /usr/local/apache/htocs even when the actual document root on the virtual domain is /usr/local/apache/domains/domain.com/www/ You can use PATH_TRANSLATED but that doesn't solve the http side when you may need to find the images directory from an included file :) My little relative_root does the trick nicely for both situations, just I think the expression I use is very brutal and there is probably a more elegant way to arrive at the same result.

Re: [PHP] Re: help condensing regular expressions
Thanks Chris Thats what I was after :) At the top of each page I now do $reltoroot = preg_replace(|/[^/]+|, ../, dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])); ini_set (include_path,ini_get(include_path).:.$reltoroot.../include); which takes care of the include path I use the path translated info for pages that are sym linked across virtual domains such as admin pages.

I need to turn $PHP_SELF which could be /admin/emails/index.php into ../../ which I can then use to get to any directory from root. Here's a more compact regexp: preg_replace(|/[^/]+|, ../, dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])); dirname() returns only the directory part of a filename (e.g. /~chris from /~chris/myfile.php). Using | instead of the usual / to delimit the regular expression just saves a bit of typing. (Note that for includes, you'd be better off setting include_path in php.ini or .htaccess - that avoids the need to worry about where the files are physically located) If you need the local file path and you're using Apache, the PATH_TRANSLATED variable can tell you where your files are: $current_dir = dirname($PATH_TRANSLATED) . /; This could be used to construct absolute paths internally - I use it in my photo gallery code when creating thumbnails such with convert. Using it with DOCUMENT_ROOT can help if you need to construct things like directory listings. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
