Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Relative paths in include/require are always relative to the initial script, *not* to the file doing the include-ing. Thus: - when file1 is called directly, the relative path for include-ing file2 is indeed ../folder2/file2 - when the original call is to index.php, which includes file1, which includes file2, the relative path to file 2 is ./folder2/file2 (relative to index.php, *not* file1), even from within file1. You will need to use some kind of tracking of the base path for the current invocation. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-24 22:28:59] josmith at albertc dot on dot ca ok... index.php folder1 file1 folder2 file2 That is the dir structure. file1 'include()'s file2 and file1 is included in index. When file1 is called directly from the browser it includes file2 (by using include "../folder2/file2"). However, when file1 is included in index.php the path to file to (located in file1) must be absolute, it cannot be relative (although when fil1 is called directly the path to file2 can be relative). Using any relative path does nto appear to work in this rare case. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22865&edit=1
