Hey I am trying to include a file inside another file in PHP If i write the entire path it does it with out problem.
$route = "/var/www/vhosts/aldroenergia.com/testmovil.aldroenergia.com/src/recursos/php/fEmail.php";
include($route);
but i would like to include with out writing the whole path. Im including the fEmail.php
inside
/var/www/vhosts/aldroenergia.com/testmovil.aldroenergia.com/src/ajax/correos/file.php
I've tried include("../../recursos/php/fEmail.php")
but didnt work. I've tried include(dirname(__FILE__."../../recursos/php/fEmail.php"));
but failed too.
this is the folder structure.
--src
--recursos
--php
-fEmail.php
--ajax
--correos
-file.php
include(dirname(__FILE__."../../recursos/php/fEmail.php"));
when you are passing the result of __FILE__
concatenate to the ../../recursos/php/fEmail.php
within the dirname
function it will not work because It's a wrong path. you must instead past just __FILE__
as parameter to dirname
which will return the absolute path of the directory in which the file.php
file is. after getting the contening directory path you can past the relative path to the fEmail.php
file from file.php
directory.
include(dirname(__FILE__) . "/../../recursos/php/fEmail.php");
Constants paths and require
statements are relative to the current file youre in. To keep track of your paths I would suggest to use a central config file and define your root path in it:
# ./src/config.php
define("ROOT", __DIR__);
# Later include config.php and use:
require_once(ROOT . "/src/recursos/php/fEmail.php");
