Good afternoon everyone,
A number of Web sites I manage were recently moved to a new server.
They use PHP includes for displaying content common to all site pages. On
the old server I used absolute paths for these includes. I'm not sure which
version of PHP was in use on that machine, but all worked fine. No matter
if pages were located in the root folder, or in sub folders the includes
loaded fine. On the new machine they're not loading at all unless the site
pages are located in the root folder, and the absolute path is removed.
I have two options and am not sure which is the best fix for this
situation. I'd like to continue using PHP, hut don't care to have to update
umpteen includes and footer files for pages stored in umpteen site folders.
I need to know from a PHP guru is there is a fix for this situation that
will cause my includes to be displayed on pages located in subfolders, or do
I need to do things the hard way?If someone has code that I can add that
will cause PHP includes to be displayed regardless of a page's location on
the server that will be very much appreciated.
This server also supports Server-Side Includes which load on pages in
any location on the server. One of the sites I manage was created using SSI.
The include loads on all site pages some of which are located in
subfolders. The question is can I continue to build these sites using PHP,
or should I convert them over to Server-Side Includes to fix this problem?
Suggestions and PHP code snippids to add to the PHP include tag will be very
helpful. I need to move on this as four Web sites are effected by this
problem. Thanks for your help.
