CI Relative Paths

Yes. Of course. But it's not necessarily from the directory the script is in.The script that had the

include(../config.php)

was down several levels from the ci folder but this include got resolved with respect to ci ! That is, it went back up one level to the project directory and then down to the config.php in that directory. I stuck some code into the script to show the include path there:

Code:

$fp = fopen('dbg' . ".txt", 'w');
fwrite($fp,"\n include path="   . get_include_path());
fclose($fb);
  
require('../config.php');

And this got printed:
include path=.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear

Clearly CI isn't using that either. CI seems to set its own paths and use those to resolve relative paths.

It's all very confusing, at this point.
