include()

[Lüpher Cypher]

Hi,
I just want to make sure I'm getting it right:
When I used nested include/include_once, I noticed that, say:

/a.php -> include("path/b.php");
/path/b.php -> include("c.php" );
/path/c.php

This works fine. This, however,

/a.php -> include("path/b.php");
/path/b.php -> include("path/c.php");
/path/c.php

does not. So, include takes a path relative to the included file, not
the top parent script, right? I mean, it should be so from what is
happening, but I remember I had some trouble with that some time ago,
maybe there are some version differences?

Thanks

If I'm not mistaken, it's part of your include_path setting. You'll
have problems if you ever want to keep your PHP files (libraries
and whatnot) out of web space. (I like php code out of web space,
should the web server ever be configured to show the source and
the source contains passwords, settings, etc..)

It'll also depend on safe_mode settings.

It can get rather confusing.
