Im trying to use this code

<?php
include "php/header.php";
include "php/menu.php";
include "php/content.php";
include "php/sidebarfooter.php";
?>

but the problem is that all these files are in one directory witch is the php one.

Now the folder i have this file in is in another directory.

Look..heres a screenshot and how is the right way to put the php include code with all my files in...

then don't post in something you don't know about. It's just a waste lol

try using

Code: Select all

../../php/file.php

or

Code: Select all

/../../php/file.php

what this does is go up two directories from where you are, then navigate to php/file.php

It worked perfect! Thanks!

Speaking about pgp include... what's the point in putting a dot before the folder? eg: "./php/file.php"? isn't it the same as "php/file.php"?

There are from other directories thats why.

FROM MATRIX BOSS PRUTHVI THANKssssssss

thanks for....???

In Php (and also almost all programming languages) . 'dot' means the current directory and a .. 'double-dot' means the directory one level up from the current directory.

Sterex, does that mean that a triple dot means it is in a directory more inside?, like a sub director in a sub directory?

The person didn't use one dot... what he did does have a point...

epically useful information there... I didn't know you could go up a directory with the include statement...

Let me clear things up...

./abc.php means the same directory as relative to the triggering script file... like index.php
abc.php means the same directory as relative to the currently executing script file. If the current executing file is an included file from another folder, PHP will take this folder as the folder to include the file abc.php.
../abc.php means the file from the parent directory of the current folder as correctly said earlier.

So if you are working with included files, work carefully with "abc.php" and "./abc.php"

go
