Relative Path

[ainoy31]

Directory structure:

 

/home/~test/public_html/soap/

    .../xml/

    .../bin/

    .../products/browser/

 

In file /home/~test/public_html/soap/bin/products/browser/test.php, I include another file and call it's function:

require("../../xml/processXML.php");

$xmlData = generateXML(....);

 

In the /home/~test/public_html/soap/xml/processXML.php, I have the following code:

function generateXML()
{
     exec("../bin/code.cur");
}

 

The problem is the exec("../bin/code.cur") fails of the relative path issue.  I did a getcwd() before the exec() and it returned /home/~test/public_html/soap/bin/products/browser.  I have tried using dirname() and no help.  I hope this is clear enought to understand where I am coming from.

 

Thank you.

You could change the CWD to the directory of the current file using __FILE__ like this:

 

<?php
$old_dir = getcwd();
chdir(dirname(__FILE__));

echo getcwd(); // do your stuff
exec("../bin/code.cur");

chdir($old_dir);
echo getcwd(); // all back to what it was again
?>
