I have a site that uses a copyright date on all pages.

Up until now I have been using the following command.

PHP Code:

<?php require ("includes/copyright.inc"); ?>

However, the site I am working on goes pretty deep in its directories. For example, http://www.site.com/dir1/dir2/dir3/page.php

So I figured if I added ../ I could get the include file to work...no luck I got warnings out the ear.

I even used the following.

PHP Code:

<?php require ("../../../../includes/copyright.inc"); ?>

No luck again.

When I added the http://.. before the path I received a warning telling me something about not supporting seeking.

Any help with this is welcome as I'm about to go nuts.

Let me guess, the warning you recieve is like:

Warning: main(): stream does not support seeking in /dir/dir/dir/dir/some_file.php on line ##

So far the only way that I've found around this is to put @ (which suppresses the warning) in front of any include or require that tries to access a remote file via a url.

hope this helps,

try just 3 back dirs

../../../includes/copyright.inc

anouther option is to use absolute paths instead of relative paths, insert this file to your includes directory and call it from your browser

<?php
echo getcwd();
?>

this will output the absolute path for that folder you can then use this in your require statment.
