Hi I don't know which path should put into parameter in require_once()
I am working with 7.2.10-0.
I have a directory which is
ice_hockey > data > teams.php
ice_hockey > view > top.php
ice_hockey > index.php
My teams.php is like this
<?php
require_once('../view/top.php');
?>
but It does not work. I was searching for the path, especially relative path to put as parameter in require_once. Whatever I did, it doesn't work..
If I am put teams.php in the ice_hockey folder.
It will be easy but I need that folder to make easy.
How can I do? What is my problem here?
The current working directory is not guaranteed to be where the script is located. When you access index.php from the web server, your CWD is going to be ice_hockey, not ice_hockey/data.
The same would apply if you were running in the command line from the root directory and ran:
php ice_hockey/data/teams.php
The CWD would be the root directory, or where you executed the command from.
Use the magic constant __DIR__ to use the current script's directory.
require_once(__DIR__ . '/../view/top.php');
This will always point to the correct location relative to where teams.php is located.
