[amel86]

hello i have a simple question but i dont kno whow to handle.

the problem is:

i have a file (car.php) that i make include code like below:

require_once('./global.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_forumdisplay.php');

Hey.

You will just have to change the path to the included file to reflect the change.

For a file in the same directory, you would use ./file.php. For a file in the parent directory you would use ../file.php; in the grand-parent directory ../../file.php; etc...

atli, im still blur here.
can i give real example and hope you will explain more clearly to me.. i have done what u already told me.. but the problem still same.

the problem is i have a filename that is car.php. in this file, i make include code like below:

require_once('./global.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions.php');
require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_forumdisplay.php');

so, now i need to make car.php in a new folder as a car directory.
in this case car directory will same level with includes directory.

can u help me?

You could use full path names throughout.
Or register them with set_include_path. But I would only do this with common files used in multiple scipts
