PHP Include but in other directories?

[Flurpal]

Hiya, I would like to know the syntax to include a file that rests in a different directory from which the file is. I know of the include function. Is there some function in PHP similar to the include "Virtual" function in SSI (.SHTML)?

You can always use the full path to the file.

Full path is more intuitive. You can set it as a constant:

define ('FULL_PATH','/path/to/includes/dir');

include (FULL_PATH . "/myinclude.php");

although I've seen this a lot. Contents of "path.php:"

.:./conf:./classes:

then where it's needed,

ini_set('include_path', @current(file('path.php')));
