file path

[waqasahmed996]

hi to all

i have a php file within i redirect a page. but when i include this file in another directory then i also have to change path of redirect file.
like this

header("Location:../ques2.php");
 

or

header("Location:../../ques2.php");
 

etc

i want that i just include a file in any directory and path of a redirect file change accordingly.

i think i am not clear in my question. what i need to explain more?

[Dormilich]

consider using an absolute path

define("MY_FILE_PATH", "/root_dir/path/to/file/");
header("Location: " . MY_FILE_PATH . "ques2.php");

[waqasahmed996]

define("MY_FILE_PATH", "/root_dir/path/to/file/");
 

is it possible that it take path "/root_dir/path/to/file/" dynamically

@waqasahmed996
what do you mean with "dynamically"?

[waqasahmed996]

means my file may be on local server and path may be like this

http://localhost/hms/file.php

or it may be on real server

http://www.example.com/abc/file.php

but i do not have to change path in coding

// e.g. located in a configuration file
define("BASE_DIR", realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/'); // currently the configuration folder

make sure to traverse back/forth from the config file to your destination directory
