Hi,

Currently I have created some php based webpages and uploaded them to my web hosting server.It has a PHP 5.1.6
installed.With this I am able to include files only that are in the same directory(they work well using require() fn).If not an error message displaying some "no such file" in directory appears in the page.I would like to use them to be included in different direcetories.What should I do?

create the directories and include the names when using the require() function.

example :

your index.php is in the root directory
/index.php
and you have a directory with your other php files in
/lib/other.php

so in index.php you will have

require("lib/other.php");

Yes thats right you could use a require() method and specify the path of the file to call or else you could use the include method. For example

vars.php
<?php

$color = 'green';
$fruit = 'apple';

?>

test.php
<?php

echo "A $color $fruit"; // A

include 'vars.php';

echo "A $color $fruit"; // A green apple

?>
