As steelseth12 stated, using forward slashes is the correct method. The Windows designers decided years ago that they would be cute by using backslashes while the rest of the established computer world used forward-slashes. PHP and Windows know how to play together, so if you use the forward slash, the correct file will be found.

Ive got a php file which holds some constants for my site, I can include them so long as the file is in the same directory by using 'include('const.php'); however to organsise the site I want to use folders, however I cannot reference my const.php file from sub directories by using something like 'include(&quot;..\const.php&quot;);'<wbr />, the site will be moving around onto several servers, so cant use things like 'include('c:\htdocs\const.<wbr />php');'<br />
<br />
Any simple ideas?<br />

php include not absolute

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.
