path problem

[Yang Li Ke]

Hello all.

i have some fopen problems with paths.

I have a script which does fopen("template s/file.php","w"); in a script
called f.php inside a folder named /folder

Sometimes i call this script from /root and sometimes from /root/folder

so i dont know how to make sure that it will always do the fopen to the file
in the /folder/templates/

Anyone can give me some help ?

you can use fopen(dirname(_ _FILE__)."/templates/file.php","w");

__FILE__ is always the full path of the current file, so in your case it
will be "/folder/f.php", and dirname(__FILE_ _) will evaluate to "/folder"

Hope this helps,

fopen("/root/folder/templates/file.php",...

try using the full path like this
fopen("/www/website/templates/file.php","w");

I tend to do this when this problem comes along
$absPath = "/www/website"; // I put this in a master include file, say
config.php

fopen("$absPath/templates/file.php","w"); // then this works
