how do i get to the root folder?

player · 24 Jan 2007 at 20:10

say I'm using a php include, the file I'm including is located in the root folder, and I have pages within numerous sub folders. How do I reference the file in the root everytime?

for example, using below moves one up the directory structure...
<? include('../googletracking.html');?>

You could try <? include('/googletracking.html');?>

If i Understand what you're asking, it's simple to do

You can use "../" consecutively as many times as you want.

<? include('../../../../googletracking.html');?>

would move up 4 directories

Either that or use the full url, with http://whatever.com/googletracking.html or wherever it is.

Cheers chaps, I'll just call it from it's exact location then - never thought of that

include ( $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/googletracking.html" );

is nicer
