Why not set-up a variable in a common include file (something like $basedir = "/usr/home/vinny/public_html/php") and then you can just do this:
include "$basedir/script.php";
Here's what I use: -------------------------------------- HOME: -------------------------------------- http://localhost/ C:/_Paul/web/public_html C:/_Paul/web/phplib /configuration /screen /utilities /action -------------------------------------- SCHOOL: -------------------------------------- http://hills.ccsf.edu/~pfurma02/ /students/pfurma02/public_html /students/pfurma02/phplib /configuration /screen /utilities /action
-------------------------------------- Here's my HOME path definitions: -------------------------------------- <?php /* INDEX.PHP this is the only file sitting in public_html it tells us the paths for the server we are running on and nothing else
then it includes a config file for the rest of the setup */
define ('LIBDIR', 'C:/_Paul/web/phplib');
define ('PUB_DIR', 'C:/_Paul/web/public_html');
define ('URL_DIR', 'http://localhost/');
define ('CONFIG_DIR', LIBDIR . '/configuration');include (CONFIG_DIR . '/config.php');
?>
-------------------------------------- This file works at home and at school: -------------------------------------- <?php /* CONFIG.PHP this is the first thing called from index.php it sets up the remaining global constants it checks the screen input to redirect before anything goes wrong then includes the "main" template */
define ('SCREEN_DIR', LIBDIR . '/screen'); define ('UTIL_DIR', LIBDIR . '/utilities'); define ('ACTION_DIR', LIBDIR . '/action');
$template = 'main.php'; # the template for the site $default_screen = 'home.php'; # the default screen
# check which SCREEN to display
if(isset($_REQUEST['SCREEN'])) {
if(is_file(SCREEN_DIR . "/" . basename($_REQUEST['SCREEN']))) {
$SCREEN = basename($_REQUEST['SCREEN']);
} else {
$SCREEN = $default_screen;
}
} else {
$SCREEN = $default_screen;
}
if($SCREEN == 'main.php') {
$SCREEN = 'home.php';
$_REQUEST['SCREEN'] = $SCREEN;
}include (SCREEN_DIR . "/$template");
?>
