I have recently "migrated" to a dual-boot system with Slackware Linux
and Windows 2000 Server. Last night on the Linux partition I
finished configuring Apache with PHP. When I moved the website that
I am hosting over to the Linux partitions, I kept getting errors
saying that it could not open the files included with PHP include()
statement.
On Windows, I had included them this way, and it worked perfectly for
all pages of the websites:
<?php include("/includes/included_file.php"); ?>
When I moved the website files over to Linux, all of my include()
statements were broken because PHP "could not find the file". After
doing a search, I found that I could place a "." in front of the
first "/" to make it check in the current directory, but then I would
have to change everything to make it relative to the current
directory.
My question is this: is it possible to include files from the
website's root directory relatively (like I had previously done on
Windows)?
I'm really hoping it's a "yes".
Thanks,
David Bindel
