I am trying to get the base path of the documents through a function as I do not want to find the paths like ../folder1/folder2/mypage.php or ../../../folder1/folder2/somepage.php.
Therefore I tried...
function getBaseUrl() {
// output: /myproject/index.php
$currentPath = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
// output: Array ( [dirname] => /myproject [basename] => index.php [extension] => php [filename] => index )
$pathInfo = pathinfo($currentPath);
// output: localhost
$hostName = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
// output: http://
$protocol = strtolower(substr($_SERVER["SERVER_PROTOCOL"],0,5))=='https://'?'https://':'http://';
// return: http://localhost/myproject/
return $protocol.$hostName.$pathInfo['dirname']."/";
}
Then i give write the code...
$base = getBaseUrl();
require_once $base.'_include/db/qry.php';
require_once $base.'_include/db/functions.php';
Both the files qry.php & functions.php is in http://localhost/mysite/_include/db/
While i run the page, error shows ...
Warning: require_once(): http:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_include=0 in C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite\_include\header.php on line 9
Warning: require_once(http://localhost/mysite/_include/db/qry.php): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite\_include\header.php on line 9
Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'http://localhost/mysite/_include/db/qry.php' (include_path='.;C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite\_include\header.php on line 9
I tried by echoing the getBaseUrl() like echo $base; and it is showing the right path i.e. http://localhost/mysite/.
What should I do ?
Answer
you can use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']
