Dir in forum directory (getting global.php stuff)

If i have a directory in my forum directory like so:

forums/mydir

And i want to include global.php from the forums directory and use its values in my index.php in mydir what code do I use. I've tried using chdir but to no effect.

Any ideas on how I can get it :)?

PHP Code:


		
			
require("../global.php");

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php



error_reporting(7);

require("../global.php");



echo $bburl;



?>

That's all my code just for testing purposes at the moment but it's just displaying a blank page :(

Does that give you an error? It should if it can't include it (may have to comment out the error reporting line to see)...

Perhaps ../forum/config.php ? if not... you may need to use the real path - ie /home/users/public_html/forum/

Using the full path wont work, i've tried it (many times)

Try combinations of chdir'ing and then require'ing. :)

I meant the real server path... not http://www.example.com/forum/config.php because more than likely it will give you a seeking not allowed error in that case ;)

Make a directory in your forums directory called 'moo'.

Then upload this as your index.php file:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php 



error_reporting(7); 

require("../global.php"); 



echo $bburl; 



?>

$bburl being a global variable should be outputted to the page...

I see nothing :(

Ah I see what it's doing. It is trying to include ./admin/config.php relative to the /forum/folder/ directory... not sure if I have a solution for that unless you just copy paste the global.php file into your new directory and alter the line where it includes config.php to point.

The simplest way would be to create a symlink in moo to global.php and to forums/admin.

Or:

PHP Code:


		
			
chdir('../');

So i put that line before requiring global.php right? ^^

I don't know if that will work, but worth a shot.
I thought changing the include path would work, (ie ini_set('include_path', '.:/path/to/script/here/'); but on *nix boxes apparently is doesn't work with files included within an include. :(

$vbpath ="/path/to/folder/with/global/in/it";
chdir($vbpath);
require_once("global.php");

or like NTLDR said
