- PHP include files and [root]/folder/file requests
- Posted by :::Jerry:::: on February 28th, 2006
Page URL is [root]/common/template.php - having arrived from a php
redirect on the [root]index.php page.
The problem is that a request to obtain any php 'include' files using
[root]/folder/file, such as <?php include "/incs/menu2.inc"; ?>,
doesn't work. But a similar request from the same page to obtain
images from a [root]/folder/file request, such as
src="/extras/btcc0409.jpg" does.
Hope the above makes sense. Are php include files handled differently
to other file types, if not, anyone got any pointer as to what I'm
doing wrong?... Help!

Paths in URLs are URL paths. If you start them with a / then they are

You can grab the filesystem path to the root of the filesystem with
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']
