Path to include file

[Thomas Mlynarczyk]

Hello,

I want to include an inc file into a number of files residing in different
directories and different directory levels. Apart from setting include_path
accordingly, isn't there a simple syntax to give a path relative to the
document root? "/mypath/myfile.inc" doesn't seem to work...

Thanks in advance,
Thomas

include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/mypath/myfile.inc';

Seems to be my only choice then (provider won't let me mess up php.ini).
Still, why doesn't PHP accept "/mypath/myfile.inc" for a path relative to
the doc root? For web documents, this syntax works fine with Apache.

PHP is more than an Apache extension.
