okay below is an example of a site map...

www > security > linker.php
"""""" > mainframe > config.php


How can i make a link to config from linker, were mainfame and security are both folders inside www?
I think it may involve root but how do i find out the root if im running of localhost and will be using a domain soon aswell?
(plus how would i put that link into a session?)
I am so very confused.

I'm assuming "www" is what you are using instead of "public_html" (you should be using public_html btw) but anyway...

# linker.php

include "../mainframe/config.php";
# or /mainframe/config.php to take from root

Hope that helps. / takes it from the root dir. (above www) and .../ takes i from 1 directory backwards.

e.g folders/file:
test/folder/really/silly/goon/name.ext

a link to:
../../page.ext

would be:
test/folder/really/page.ext

lol. I seem to be in demand recently...i mean the amount of emails/pms i received last month on different forums is shocking :S I'm not that good lol.

besides, as i explained to deadly over msn, the spare time i was filling by posting in this topic was the small break between finishing dinner and starting work lol. I have a site of my own to finish when i get time.
