Hi,
does anyone know how to handle file and directory paths on a IIS 5.0
server? Problem is that the server has multi-domain and each domain has
an
associated 'root' dir below e:\webspaces.
So if one uses relative path strings, an opendir() for example will fail.
One has to use "e:\\webspaces\\root_of_domain_1\\images\\" to access the
/images folder of the configured domain 1.
I'm sure there are functions and env vars to accomplish this, but I'm
quite
new to PHP and didn't find them yet.
Problem is (I didn't describe it in my former post) that I'm unable to
set
a global document root that is valid for all domains and subdomains. I
guess the webserver would assemble the path by itself, uniquely for each
domain, to get the desired result.
Practical example: On one domain, they mix up FrontPage and PHP. Since
FrontPage doesn't like PHP, they construct one part of the web using
FrontPage (and its features like so-called 'designs' - which aren't more
than stylesheets - and common borders - which are simply files in a
hidden
directory '_borders'), and the other part using PHP.
To combine both of them and to make them look almost the same, they could
include a header and a footer.
Header file/section looks like:
<?php
echo "<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'
href='_themes/mytheme.css'>";
include "./_borders/top.htm";
?>
Footer looks similar except for the filename (which is 'bottom.htm'
here).
When included in a .php file at their 'root' level, it works well. But if
they use a subdir like /scripts, it won't. And changing the include file
from ./borders/top.htm to /borders/top.htm, PHP puts the complete
physical
path to the left of the filename. But this is not relative to their root
:-
(
To recall: Their root level is (physically mapped):
e:\\webspaces\\root_of_domain_1
Hope this has been clear enough to show my problem.
Thanks in advance!

Hi all,
I am carrying out a PHP/MySQL tutorial and for some reason the PHP page I
require (index.php) doesnt load into my browser. The browser window just displays
nothing. I assume the page is being located as no error message is being
reported.
Index.php uses some include files to execute some commands, but they seem to
be in place etc. I have turned register globals to on, and this still doesnt
do anything.
What I find strange is, even the basic HTML text is being printed to the
screen.
I have included the index.php file, and the relevant include files, so if
possible could someone please have a gander at them to see where the problem is.
There are other include files, but I didnt feel it was relevant to include
them.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Interesting thread since I also run into problems with relative vs.
absolute paths on IIS. My problem here is it has to run on a multihomed
server where many domains are served and each domain has its own subdir
below the designated 'root' dir.
Can't change it because domains are managed (and owned) by different users,
so I can't provide a global include dir (or each user could
modify/rename/kill modules of others).
I created a new article as of October 13, 2003 that's left unanswered.
Maybe my problem is more descriptive there.

Has anyone found a way of running a PHP script as a NT/2000 service? Would
be nice not to have to leave the console logged in all the time.
