include path

Problems with the Windows version of XAMPP, questions, comments, and anything related.

include path

Postby Ticebain » 16. January 2009 04:03

Hi, wondering if you all know how to change the include, it seems to default to the pear directory, and I cant get it to change. I would prefer that there is no predefined include path and to use all relative paths, I have a tendency to use includes from all over, some have html in them, some have php, some have php functions, some have arrays, all sorts of stuff

Thanks

The php configuration file in XAMPP is here, xampp\apache\bin\php.ini if that is what you are wanting.
Code: Select all
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Paths and Directories ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; UNIX: "/path1:/path2"
;include_path = ".:/php/includes"
;
; Windows: "\path1;\path2"
include_path = ".;C:\xampp\php\pear\"
Perhaps you can add to that line.

Remember to save the file if you make any changes and restart Apache - make a backup or copy of the php.ini first.

ahh perhaps restarting apache was the problem, because I found that and changed it and it broke the whole include process when i saved it and tried to run a script with an include... but being limited in my includes to one directory is a problem

I am working on mulitple projects and not being able to put a line of code in like

include('footer.html'); //footer.html being in the same folder as the document calling it

because that actually routes to

C:\xampp\php\pear\footer.html

is a serious hinderance...

thanks for the reply izzy, does that make more sense of my problem?
