WampServer

I have a php file, call it file1.php, that is included from files in different directories. Now, file1.php needs to include another php file, call it file2.php, but the problem is that the relative path to file2.php will change since file1.php is included from different places.

Therefore, I think I need to use an absolute path. For instance, on my web server I can use the path "/home/username/public_html/...", but I cannot figure out how to do this with WampServer.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your help!

you can do the same once you understand these four structures

href="file.php" looks in the current directory (relative)

href="../file.php" is back one folder from the current directory (relative)

href="/file.php" is all the way back to the server root (absolute)

http:/ /locahost/file.php is an absolute path to a file (absolute)

you most likely want to use the third , because you dont need to mention a URL , which may change in the future
