在不使用整个URL的情况下包含member.php

Question

I have a folder called users. Users contains this:

*username*/index.php
member.php

*username* is the username of someone who has signed up. There are several *username* folders and they all contain index.php.

Since index.php in *username*/ is past member.php, how do I include member.php in index.php without using the whole URL? I already tried users/member.php and /users/member.php, but it says the directory doesn't exist. I can't use the whole URL, because it messes up my PHP. How do I include member.php without using the whole URL?

Answer 1

As long as username/index.php doesn't change the current working directory, you can simply use a relative path:

include '../members.php';

If it does change the cwd, just include the relative path from whatever the cwd is. You can find out what the current working directory of a script is by:

echo getcwd();
