Hello,

Are you suggesting I edit the files directly and add the absolute path? I am trying to avoid that. I attempted chdir but it wasn't working in the scope of how I was using it.

This is my exact issue:

Directory Sub Folder > Article.php
Root > Header.php, Footer.php, Vars.php, Left.php

Article.php calls header and footer like this:

PHP Code:

include("../header.php"); ?> 


That works fine.

header.php begins by calling on the vars.php file as the very first command, which is in the same directory as the header.php file. It is looking for that file however in the sub folder.

Seeing as the header and footer files are called in every file, I was hoping that perhaps there would be a way to define globally to read from the root folder for every included file without having to edit every included file. (There are many more files that are used pending the pages usage.)

What will end up happening, if i understand you correctly, is that i will need to edit almost 45 different files. If I could include a simple "scope" method for forcing the page to read from the root directory, unless otherwise defined, it would be great.

I know this can be done, but i can't seem to locate HOW it is done. lol
