[PHP] Absolute and relative paths ..... a quick explanation required
Hi all, can anyone tell me how php paths are worked out Im just starting to use php over asp so would appreciate the answer to the following If a file a.php includes a file b.php which includes a file c.php is the include in file b.php relative to itself or the file that included it i.e. a.php.

I'm assuming your on windows so it defaults to: include_path = .;c:\php\includes Now going from that, php will first look for: .\c.php and .\b.php relative to where a.php is located.

use require_once() or include_once() - these remember what has been included and do not include files that has been already.

I know this can be done by designing everything from the top down and ensuring the system is correct but at the mo Im working on an existing system ??
