Recommended Posts

i am running a file in the following folder on my hosting server

 

/httpdocs/folder1/folder2/script.pjp

 

how do i include a file that is located at the root of the hosting server

 

/httpdocs/globalFunctions.php

 

 

iv tried

$maindir = dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
require $maindir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . "globalFunctions.php";

include('http://www.domainname.com/globalFunctions.php');

and

include('../../globalFunctions.php');

but none of these work

 

any ideas

i have a settings.php file that the main index.php page links to. in their the site settings are explicitly declared.

 

i suppose you are looking for an on the fly approach though?

 

how about: <?php echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; ?>

 

or more reliably apparently: <?php echo getcwd() ?>
