OK so I now know there is a way to put all my php files in a single place and have them be able to be included without a filepath by setting an include_path like so:
php_value include_path .:/pathToPHPFiles
OK so now as long as my PHP files are in this directory I can include them from any subdirectory as if they were in the same directory.
I am wondering if there is a trick like this for other file types like .css and .js so I can put them all in single location and embed them in a page without worring about the filepath?
define("CSSPATH", "/path/to/css/");
echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="'.CSSPATH.'style.css" />';
or, in a .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*\.css)$ path/to/css/$1
I'm not sure about the .htaccess version... corrections welcome.
