include_once fails with chdir

1,726 Expert 1GB

I use the line

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

require_once '../includeFiles.php';

to pull in all required functions etc for my scripts.
It is also possible that a script will include another, both with this line in, but the 'once' prevents double including.

However, if

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

chdir(dirname(__FILE__));

is at the beginning of an included file then require_once is ignored and included again.
This causes problems of repeated function declaration etc.

Anybody know a solution?

Sorry. This is not what is happening.
Problem is occuring when a script calls another script
that includes a different 'includeFiles.php'.
Then the different 'includeFiles.php' includes files already included in first script's 'includeFiles.php'

I suppose I have to include_once all those files instead of just include.

Am I making any sense here?
How about deleting the thread until I have a clearer problem?
