path to include folder

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi everyone,

When I'm testing locally, I have to add the name of the site folder as part of the path name when I'm including files, eg.

include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/site_name/includes/dbAdmin.inc.php';

Eventually when I upload the site to the hosting provider I'll need to remove the site name, ie.

include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/includes/dbAdmin.inc.php';

This is because the includes folder will be in the root directory.

This is going to be a real pain as I'd have to remove quite a lot of them, so I wondered if there was a way to avoid having to include the site name when testing or a workaround?

Appreciate any tips
