:) I typically
try to post
something that
might be useful
to someone when
I post a
question.
Syntax can be a
sticking point
with php
coding. I've
commonly,
commonly left
out a ' or
" here or
there,
forgotten to
end a line with
a semi-colon.
Both of the
following with
work. The php
user manual
shows straigt
single
quotatioin
marks, but the
latter also
works.
Code:
include
'body.php';
Include("f
ooter.php"
);
Also, I've just
been performing
some absolute
path
adjustments
because of the
layers of
directories.
For instance,
the first is an
example of a
complete path
to a login
script, and the
latter also
will work.
Code:
include
'http://www.vio
space.net/test/
phptestfiles/lo
gin.php';
include
'/test/phptestf
iles/login.php'
;
If the
login.php is in
the same
directory, then
a simple
Code:
include
'login.php';
will
suffice.
Right now I am
questioning:
What is an
appropriate
directory
structure to
work with for
keeping files
that have mysql
login
information
stored in?
Is the first
directory off
of the
www.sitename
.net/ a
safe place or
no?

php is a behind
source code, it
is not
viewable.
I'd recommend
you stick to
this code style
-
include("
footer.php&quo
t ;
Its proper and
will work in
all web
browsers,
remember make
sure it is
capable not
only in Opera
or Firefox but
IE as well,
since IE is
what most users
operate
with.
Now as for how
do direct the
include to the
required
file.
Don't use the
whole
http://... in
the include.
-----
If login.php is
in Folder 1,
and you want to
include your
database.php
which is IN
Folder 1, it
will look like
this.
include("
database.php&q
uot;
-----
If login.php is
in Folder 1,
and you want to
include your
database.php
which is in
Folder
2,3,4,etc. It
will look like
this.
include("
folder2/databas
e.php";
-----
Now if you need
to go
backwards, lets
say include
something a few
folders behind
in the order.
Like lets
include the
Login.php in
Folder 1 on the
database.php in
Folder 2. Use
this method.
include("
../folder2/data
base.php"<
img
src=http://www.
allsyntax.com/f
orums/images/sm
ilies/wink.gif
border=0>; Will
move you 1
folders
backwards.
include("
../../folder2/d
atabase.php&qu
ot; Will
move you 2
folders
backwards.
(it might need
to be
include("
/../folder2/dat
abase.php"
; with
the / in the
front)
I make a folder
called
"includes
". In
there I place
important
include files
that I use in
and out of my
coding.
Coding is
simply CST...
Combining $hit
Together. We
make different
$hit to run in
unison
correctly. |

include is not
a function, so
the parenthesis
don
please note
that the above
post is likely
made up in its
entirety. |

david and
misterhaan,
this is all
makes sense,
thank you.
I use Yahoo!
web hosting. I
don't have a
home server
station with a
document root,
I believe this
is what you are
referring to
when you say OS
path. I'm not
sure but will
check if I have
that option
with the web
hosting. I'll
try to search
on the
Yahoo!Help to
see where the
root is if it
exists.
