Scripts outside the main dir

[stoute]

Hey I'm trying to add a script outside the main directory for the vb.

http://main_forums.com/dir

I found a post about the opposite direction

in the template it states:

// chdir ('./');
require_once('./global.php');

when I uncomment the chdir it still doesn't work.

the php file that I am trying to get to show up is in the /dir where the main vb is in the URL root.

If that's true, then I think you'd want this:

chdir ('..');
require_once('./global.php');

or else use the full absolute path to your forum directory (the os path, not the one you use in a url).

Thanks I'll give that a shot and let you know if it was a success or not!
