As mentioned a couple of times on that include page, you can just use ini_set() directly in your application to set include_path. eg. That will run through each directory listed in your include path. That is, it will check for: ./foo.inc ../foo.inc ../../foo.inc /usr/local/lib/php/foo.i

I wasn't clear before. The problem I'm having, and most of the others folks who commented, with include is really with "include_path". A good bit of the problem seems to be my virtual host's environment. Most things I've tried with directives in an htaccess don't work and the error log says

What does include have to do with DirectoryIndex? And what exactly is your problem with include? The only trick is setting the include_path which doesn't seem all that obtuse to me. -Rasmus On Sun, 11 Aug 2002, Al wrote: > The problem may be due to the fact that my environment is Apache Unix.

The problem may be due to the fact that my environment is Apache Unix. I spent about two hours today pouring over the php on-line manual "include" spec and trying dozens of combinations. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php There must be at least 20 user contributed notes at the b

Does your AllowOverride include "Indexes"? If it doesn't, you can't put DirectoryIndex in a .htaccess. httpd -L is your friend. -Rasmus On Sun, 11 Aug 2002, Al wrote: > Appreciate the feedback, but. > > The .htaccess approach appears to fit my situation best; but, I've not > been able to

Appreciate the feedback, but. The .htaccess approach appears to fit my situation best; but, I've not been able to get it to work. I have a folder with a php script and that folder has several sub-folders each with a small configuration script. I'd like the entry point to be a subfolder a

[PHP] Newbie question about UNIX command-line directives

2002-08-10 Thread Al
I'm on a virtual host without a shell account and need execute a UNIX command. ln -s ../afile.php index.php Is there some way to do this [e.g., with a htaccess file]? What happens when you execute UNIX commands like the one above? Does it make a file, change the config? Thanks --
