Question

I am trying to pull my public folder from xampp to the localhost. I am stuck in an error, and I want to know the meaning of:

/../vendor/autoload.php soecially what does the "/../" mean ??

Answer 1

../ means one directory upwards from current location.

So for example, when you want include /vendor/autoload.php from within /app directory, you have to use

include '../vendor/autoload.php';
