I can't access config.php with include_once

[fer987]

Hi! I am new to PHP and I googled a lot before coming here.

 

I have trouble accessing localhost/community/admin/board_functions.php from a folder which path is localhost/community/boards/test/index.php, which script is the one below.

 

What path should I put on require_once to access the script?

 

Thanks in advance

 

<?php

require_once "..admin/board_functions.php";

$board_location = explode("\\", __DIR__);

$board_name = $board_location[5];

$board_title = board_title($board_name);

echo $board_title;

?>

You're better off using absolute paths

 

require_once "/full/path/to/community/admin/board_functions.php";

 

Otherwise, you want

 

require_once "../../admin/board_functions.php";

 

You need a '../' for each branch you want to go down
