Changing Base Path In PHP
- by Joshua
I need to change the folder that "relative include paths" are based on.
I might currently be "in" this folder:
C:\ABC\XYZ\123\ZZZ
And in this case, the path "../../Source/SomeCode.php" would actually be in this folder:
C:\ABC\XYZ\Source
And realpath('.') would = 'C:\ABC\XYZ\123\ZZZ';
If however, realpath('.') were "C:\Some\Other\Folder"
Then in this case, the path "../../Source/SomeCode.php" would actually be in this folder:
C:\Some\Source
How do I change what folder is represented by '.' in realpath()?
Like this:
echo ('BEFORE = '.realpath('.')); // BEFORE = C:\ABC\XYZ\123\ZZZ
// Some PHP code here...
echo ('AFTER = '.realpath('.')); // AFTER = C:\Some\Other\Folder
How can I change the folder represented by '.', as seen by realpath()?
