How do I set an absolute include path in PHP?

Question

In HTML, I can find a file starting from the web server\'s root folder by beginning the filepath with "/". Like:

/images/some_image         


        

Answer 1

One strategy

I don't know if this is the best way, but it has worked for me.

$root = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
include($root."/path/to/file.php");
