Re: [PHP] Question about $DOCUMENT_ROOT and include

[Al]

Thanks for the feedback....

That works if I leave off the quotes from around DOCUMENT_ROOT. Simply
$_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]

I'd really like to get this working in the htaccess file.

php_value include_dir ".:/www/r/myID/htdocs/"

I redoing a site with several php files in assorted directories and would like be certain things will work if we move the site to a new host.

Several references I've found suggest staying away from using $DOCUMENT_ROOT since it can be different on virtual hosts.

Why does the absolute path work and not document_root?

include ("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/root_functionsT.php");
//error message says function undefined

include ("/www/r/myID/htdocs/root_functions.php");
// Works just fine

Try $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] and see if that works.
