Getting Relative PHP Includes to Work Locally.

Jeremy · 2006-11-15, 06:28 PM

Changing the backslashes would break everything else under the localhost / apache & on the remote server :-( I'm really just trying to get a properly working local / apache version of the site so I can test mods to it in a 'live / real' environment and just upload it.

In php.ini, I'm using the Windows syntax. I wonder....... if Apache is doing calling on php if I should be using the Unix line and just referencing root?

Not sure why it's not working, but I have a common 'includes' folder that I put in php.ini so i don't have to worry about paths in my scripts.

include_path = ".;\php;\www\includes;"

If you put your include dir in here, you should just be able to include('file.php'); and not worry about the slashes
