include function and path question

Hi,

The code attached bellow is my file test.php. It works perfect if I use it inside /board/ folder.

If I move it to the root of my site (/public_html/ folder) then get this error:

Warning: require(./includes/class_bootstrap.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/eagle/public_html/board/global.php on line 15

This happens because global.php require other files that are located inside /board/includes/ ...

How can I manage this issue?
How can I make that all files required by global.php to be found inside /board/includes/ ? ...

Please help!
Thank you.

<?php
include('/home/user/public_html/board/global.php');
if($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] > 0){
    echo '<a href="login.php?' . $session[sessionurl] . 'do=logout&amp;logouthash=' . $vbulletin->userinfo['logouthash'] . '">Logout</a>';
}
?>

Hi Fernanditos,

Don't you just need to edit global.php to have the correct relevant paths to the files it is calling?

I tried but there are hundreds of requires in vbulletin. Any other idea?

Create a sub-folder in board called includes and make sure that the correct scripts are in there.

Another approach is to use ini_set and ini_get to change the include_path variable

ini_set( 'include_path', '.:/home/eagle/public_html/board/:/home/eagle/public_html/board/includes:' . ini_get('include_path') );

More at http://www.php.net/ini_set and http://www.php.net/ini_get

I solved the problem with

chdir('/home/eagle/public_html/board'); before the include, it was magic, working like a charm.

Thank you.
