how to reference file one folder up and down? - mrad - 07-04-2016
I am trying to reference a file one folder up and then down a few folders:
PHP Code:
include "../common/KoolControls/KoolGrid/koolgrid.php";
But this does not work, when the 'include' is in the file views/actors (see above)
Can anyone enlight me?
Thanks in advance.

Try this
PHP Code:
$path = rtrim(__DIR__, '/') . '/';
$path .= "../common/KoolControls/KoolGrid/koolgrid.php";
include $path;

Try this
PHP Code:$path = rtrim(__DIR__, '/') . '/';
$path .= "../common/KoolControls/KoolGrid/koolgrid.php";
include $path;
Paths are not easy
If the included path does not work I usually echo getcwd(); and adjust the requested relative path.
Once working remove the echo getcwd();
