I'm checking to see if a file or directory exists using -
<?php
$filename = "../ads/";
if(file_exists($filename)) ?>
It works but when I'm NOT in the root. If I'm in another directory .... For Example - If I'm in the "ads" directory and I view the-ads.php the page goes blank because in the header I have the file_exists code.
IF I remove .. from ../ads/ the page displays like it should.
What should I do? I need .. in the path ../ads/.
I fixed this by creating a config and mapping the
../ads/ AS ../../ads/
In the config in ads dir I added
define('THEURL','../../ads/');
In the header code added THEURL in replace of ../ads/
