php include_path

kleinishere · n00b Joined: 23 Nov 2003 Posts: 37

I have been running a windows apache 2.0.48 server and have been using require just fine. All I have had to do is type in require("myfilehere"). myfilehere has just been the file relative to the DocumentRoot in window's httpd.conf file. My DocumentRoot in windows was C:\, very insecure I know.

Now I have switched over to apache, have php running and all, but when I use requires it has trouble with the include_path. In windows i never had to change anything for this. I was just able to require the file relative to the DocumentRoot. Now my DocumentRoot is set to /mnt/lshare. I want to just set my include_path to the DocumentRoot so my code will still function correctly.

Can anyone help me?!

The PHP libraries and extensions seem to install under /usr/lib/php. The /etc/php/php.ini file include_path directive can be used to add additional search directories.

Good luck!

I realize that and I've tried to change the include_path in php.ini.

My question is this:

My DocumentRoot is /mnt/lshare

How do i set my include_path so that it will be /mnt/lshare and look through that?

i also have this problem on readdir(). i have to put the absolute path. instead of /www/news i have to put /mnt/lshare/www/news. is there anyway that i can change it to just assume /mnt/lshare

Hmmm, I'm not sure what that means - some side-effect of safe-mode maybe? I think readdir() is in /usr/lib/php/System.php, which should be in your include_path.

dude, i'm sorry, but i'm sorda a noob at this. i looked at the system.php and found something about readdir but it really can't help. i'm sure that not only readdir needs the absolute path, but other functions that i'll need. there has to be something i can change. i changed the include_path to what you said, and i took out the /'s in front of my requires and all of that worked. i thank you for that, but if anyone knows how to change the path so it assumes /mnt/lshare in front of everything that would be awesome!

Have a look at http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php, which explains the rules that PHP uses for searching for files.

Best regards,

Can you post your include_path line?
