PHP - Absolute/relative Path With Includes

In the file "secure/checkout.php" I have...

Code: [Select]
<?php require_once "../config.inc.php"; ?>
which is Relative.


Can I use an Absolute Path instead??


Debbie

due to mod_rewrite flaws, i have to give everything an absolute path. somehow though, the stylesheet's absolute path wont work. heres the code:

<link href="C:/xampp/htdocs/lso/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

the stylesheet is in the lso folder, yet somehow this wont work and no styles are loaded!

I'm working on an email template system where my client will go to a page and copy & paste the source code into their crm system.

I'm trying to find a way to automatically replace the image path without the use of echo if possible.

I've figured this out already with this script:

Code: [Select]
<?
function GetFileDir($php_self){
$filename = explode("/", $php_self); // THIS WILL BREAK DOWN THE PATH INTO AN ARRAY
for( $i = 0; $i < (count($filename) - 1); ++$i ) {
$filename2 .= $filename[$i].'/';
}
return $filename2;
}
?>
But I don't wanna have to go in and put Code: [Select]
<?php echo GetFileDir("http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); ?> before all the image paths.

So basically anywhere that src="images/whatever.jpg" is listed it will replace "images/" with "http://www.mydomain.com/images/whatever.jpg"

is it possible to do this without having to place code before "images" ?

I am trying to load an xml file but I can't seem to find the location to load it.
Here is the location of the xml file:
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\php\webphp.xml

Here is the location of the file trying to load the xml:
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\php\gui\guiindex.php

What location would I put in he
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement("XMLFILELOCATION", NULL, true);

I run php5 apache 2.2 with mysql4 on my local machine

I prefer relative addresses.

Can someone help with the correct syntax to call... say.. the Home page (index.php)  in the root directory with something like <a href="../"  (../ takes me back too far) when called internally

At the moment I have to stipulate eg.  <a href=index.php> etc

Cheers

Hi,

I'm sorry if this has already been posted, a search of the forum didn't turn anything up so i'll ask away.

I'm trying to fetch urls from a document on my server and convert them into absolute urls.  I can extract them but some of my links use ../ or ./.  I think i've solved the ./ one but I can't find anything on getting the url when ../ is used.

As an example some urls use ../index.php when in a directory so http://www.example.com/dir/test.php, so a url of ../index.php from here would land the user on http://www.example.com/index.php.  At the moment it's landing on http://www.example.com/../index.php.

Any ideas?  Help would be appreciated 

PHP 5.3 on Windows 7 running IIS 7

Hey... when using:
Code: [Select]
$dom = DOMDocument::load( 'p:\\WebTest\\test1.xml' );where P:\ is a mapped drive, I'm getting:
Code: [Select]
Warning: DOMDocument::load(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity "file:///p:/WebTest/test1.xml" in ...
I've also tried using / instead of \\. If it's on c:\, it works fine, but I can't get the absolute path to work to a mapped drive.

If I use \\\ip\\folder\\file (or //ip/folder/file) the page never loads.

Any thoughts on getting DOMDocument to look at a shared network location on Windows?

Thanks!

I was wondering of it was possible to have a file say style.css in the root folder of a site like www.example.com/style.css and then get a subdomain called www.sub.example.com which points to www.example.com/subarea to get that file without the use of absolute paths?

Sorry if its not clear.

Hi!

So I'm working for someone, and they want me to fix this error in a PHP file..

Can anyone tell me the error here, can how to fix it?

how to get the domain name of a website which includes my includes file.

The code would need to be put within my includes file so when any site includes it the file will get the sites domain. to  $currentDomain

i have tried using:

echo file_get_contents()

instead of includes but i get the same issue I get back the includes domain.

then code i have tried (in the includes file):

Code: [Select]
$curdomain1= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

$pageUR1  = ereg_replace("/(.+)", "", $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
$curdomain2  = str_replace("www.", "", $pageUR1);

echo "<br> 1# Current Domain: ".$curdomain1;
echo "<br> 2# Current Domain: ".$curdomain2;

Sorry for the long message but I need HELP!!!  I'm somewhat familiar with HTML but very little in PHP, and even less in CSS. My eCommerce program is PHP based so I've had to learn to work with it. I did have someone else initially setup and create my website but over the past few years have taken it further myself. I've fiddled with some of it and looked up how to do certain things, such as have only one header and/or sidebar I can use for all pages. I use Dreamweaver CS4 and FTP with FileZilla. But I'm still new at this and have run into a couple of issues.   My webhost is GoDaddy, my website is MikiCat Designs and after fiddling for months, in March finally got my site to where I liked it. Unfortunately, I haven't kept it up. Anyway, I went there a couple of weeks ago and found that the PHP includes I'd had in the HTML files were no longer working. I get the error [an error occurred while processing this directive]. Weird. Worked fine before, now it doesn't. Called GoDaddy who says they didn't do anything . Uh huh. Now I know I didn't do anything since I haven't updated the site in 4 months! So, what could have caused this problem?

I've had no idea how to fix it other than to change the index.html to index.php and, of course, do a minor repair on the include. Works fine and my header.php and leftsidebar.php show up again. Yay! Herein lies another problem.

My header and sidebar link to other files some of which were HTML files. But those HTML files had the same header and sidebar issues as my INDEX file. This had to be fixed so I changed them to PHP. Still working on the changes. I deleted most of the HTML files from the server.

So the links in my header and lefsidebar files now point to PHP files. e.g., gallery.html to gallery.php. When called on it's own, gallery.php shows up perfectly. But, no matter what I do, the header file still tries to load the HTML file!!! It's driving me crazy. What have I done wrong? I've deleted them both, refreshed, cleared cache and uploaded them again but I still get the same error. If you click on Gallery in the header, it tries to link gallery.html not gallery.php! Funny thing is, the leftsidebar now works perfectly and points to the proper PHP files. I'm completely confused now.

I don't know why my header is insisting on trying to load the HTML page instead of the PHP. But here's my header code. Lines 41 and 42 work, lines 43, 44 and 45 do not.   * Quietly banging head against wall while awaiting help.

hi

This problem is the most strange thing that i seen in the last times.
this code works
Code: [Select]
<?php 
function conecta () {
$host = "localhost";
$senha = "vertrigo";
$login = "xxx";
$database = "emprego";
$conexao = mysql_connect($host,$login,$senha) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($database,$conexao)or die;
}

conecta ();

//more
?>
but this doesn't work
Code: [Select]
<?php 
require("includes/f_banco.php");
conecta ();

?>
I never seen something like that. Any ideia? the paths are correct, the bd is correct and the query works when i put the function conecta() directly in the php file.

Thanks

I did some googling and it seems you cannot include a file with an anchor:

i.e include "hello.php#foo";

How do you guys go back to the middle of the page of an included file?  Do you just not include files with anchors?

I wanted to run my entire site inside index.php and just use includes to diplay the appropriate file, but I also need anchors to go to the middle of the page on some of those files.
