Using folders in mysql

[Shadowing]

Im using XAMPP at the moment

 

and my applicatin im making is in a folder in the htdocs folder where all my files are read from. I notice when im php scripting if I put any files into another folder with in my main folder it wont load the page. so when I want to load a .php file from a script do i need to add more then just go to this .php file?

 

I tried adding folder/*****.php but that didnt work

 

I want to use multiple folders so its more organized

hope someone can help me out with this

I just realize another problem now since im adding folders

 

 

If I have a header going to folderA/folderB/file.php

 

and while im reading that file if i have any php include files in the script it wont read it from folder B

 

guess there is no way around that?

Yes, there is.  Specify an absolute file path.

 

Includes will always read according to the called script.  So, if you have scriptA in folderA that includes a file in folderB, that includes another file from folderB.  PHP will not find this file if it is passed a relative file path, because PHP will be looking in the directory that scriptA is residing in (folderA).

 

To get passed this, you must specify an ABSOLUTE FILE PATH.

 

include(dirname(__FILE__) . '/myincludedfile.php'); //will include a file in the same directory as the current file.
include(dirname(__FILE__) . '/folderB/myincludedfile.php'); //will look on folder down for the file.
