Creating Virtual Directories

[graywolf]

I'm changing from ASP to PHP and trying to figure out how to set up virtual directories for include files. The include files will all be in a directory named /includes/ in the root folder the others will look like this

/directory1/
/directory2/
/directory2/subdir1/
/directory2/subdir2/
/directory2/subdir2/subsub1/
/directory2/subdir2/subsub2/
/directory3/

I want to put an include virtual directory inside each of the subdirectories to the include directory at the top level. It's on an apache server with CPanel (don't know if that helps).

Does this help?

Put it in each file you create or have a absolute path to it in some sort of function

$root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$path = "$root$dir";
$dir = "";
include("$path/includes/yourfile.php");

you can then add a directory if you want if you are developing locally.
