How can I set an absolute path for include function in php above the working directory?
- by Baros
I am running a script from
/wp-content/themes/currenttheme/chat.php
I want to include in the above php another one located in
/forum/chat/index.php
The index.php includes its own files
I already tried
`$root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
include($root."/forum/chat/index.php");`
but I get this error
`Warning: require(D:/My Dropbox/xampp/htdocs/lib/custom.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\My Dropbox\xampp\htdocs\forum\chat\index.php on line 17
Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'D:/My Dropbox/xampp/htdocs/lib/custom.php' (include_path='.;\My Dropbox\xampp\php\PEAR') in D:\My Dropbox\xampp\htdocs\forum\chat\index.php on line 17`
(the index.php also includes some files, but the /forum is ommited somehow in the path)
then I tried
`$path = getcwd();
$myfile = "/forum/chat/index.php";
include ($path.$myfile);`
and got this error:
`Warning: include(D:\My Dropbox\xampp\htdocs\forum/forum/chat/index.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\My Dropbox\xampp\htdocs\wp-content\themes\currenttheme\chat.php on line 24
