That is correct, however I always use require_once not include_once

Also, depending on your system the forward slashes might not get parsed 
correctly, so you might want to try two backslashes. Two for
obvious reasons.


Take care,

Subject: including a file in a higher-level directory

Hi all,
A quick php question. In a case where you want to use include() or
include_once() to include a file in a higher-level directory, how do
you do it? For instance, if the main site directory holds a file
called globals.php, and a file in the scripts folder (which itself is
inside the main directory) wants to include globals.php, what is the
syntax? I thought it would be:
include("../globals.php");
to go up a level (..) and then select globals.php from that higher
level. This, however, is not working. This is on the latest version of
WAMP. Thanks, and I hope I made this clear enough.
