My bad! Windows is definitely not a strong suit with me. I did not know I could do the drive paths with the reverse slashes. I tried it and it worked flawlessly! Thank you!!!

All I have to do now is add the drive path up to the web directory to the replace.

Thanks again! Easier than I could have hoped for.

Have you tried just changing '/acc/includes/headstart.htm' to
'c:/acc/includes/headstart.htm'? i.e. leaving the unix style slashes in
place...

There is a nasty bug in the latest versions of PHP on Win32 affecting the
include statement with absolute paths.
The above is a workaround solution - once the bug is fixed you should be
able to remove the 'c:' stuff.

HIW!

Subject: [PHP-WIN] Mixing include path styles. How do I do this???


We recently switched from Netscape Enterprise to IIS and I now need to
make a lot of changes to over 600 htmls - mostly in include statements.
We're doing two things here, switching servers and switching all our
SSI's to PHP includes.

Under Enterprise, I could define a path just by putting it into the
include from the root, ie:

<!--#include virtual="/acc/includes/headstart.htm"-->

I used a global Find and Replace app to change all these (each html has
about eight includes) to:

<? include '/acc/includes/headstart.htm'; ?>

and now they don't work. If I replace the whole path with a Windows
path structure (C:\...) to the included file, it does work.

Here's the problem as I see it. I can easily do another Find and
Replace to add in the first part of the directory tree to the web
directory. What I cannot easily do is change the "/" to "\" inside the
path for the part of the path that's already there.

Is there some way to define the path to the web directory using "\",
maybe in a variable and then somehow/way switch over to "/" so I don't
have to mess with the paths I already have?

Or maybe there's a solution I'm not even aware of. Thank you.
