How can i Include a php file in a directory which contain include('xyz.php'); from another directory?

Question

My directory listing is: Users>Images>PreDefines Where i am creating a php file ie index.php in PreDefines Folder. I want to include a php file from Users Folder ie include('header.php'); . But There is a problem. header.php file contain include('title.php'); which not coming in PreDefines>index.php what should i do to include a file from another directory which includes others php files also.

Answer 1

you can simply navigate with ../ which means go backward one step and then go wherever you want

Assuming you are in Users/Images/Predefines/index.php and you want to include a file in Users you say include('../../header.php');

Or for example you have another folder in users called assets which has a file index.php. You do: include('../../assets/index.php);

Always include in absolute to the directory you are working on. Something that might help php has getcwd() which returns the current working directory. Also if you are going to change the server such as from windows to linux or other type of servers instead of / use the DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR constant which will place a separator according to your server for example

include('..'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'title.php')

Hope i understood your question
