Hey guys.. Using smarty.. I have all my setup files in the /root, if i wanted to make say an admin section, seperate from the root, say in folder root/admin, and had files in there, how can i reference the setup.php in the precending folder.

I say in my admin.php:

[php:1:f459160867]<?php
require_once '../setup.php';
?>[/php:1:f459160867]

ok ../smarty does work, but when i go any further (put templates in the admin folder), and set it up, the application is still trying to reference as if everything is in the admin folder, which is not, example:

Failed opening required 'Smarty/Smarty_Compiler.class.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/php2/Smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1009

The refence will load the setup file, but then the admin.php will try and call everything as if the setup was in the admin/ folder, like it will load lang files from /admin/lang when they are in the httd/land.. Simple problem but a confusing thing to find out.

Try using absolute paths

If you want to do so without knowing the base dir you can do it this way:
include dirname(__FILE__).'/realtive/path/to/file.php';

And here a further hint for you
Remember that we aren't in a real life conversation so nobody is deaf here ergo: you do not have to write things several times... They get through the first time...

@NewfieBilko: try this thread -- http://www.phpinsider.com/smarty-forum/viewtopic.php?t=1268

@mensi: yeah, shout outs can be tiresome but sometimes it helps get some traction. Squeaky wheel and all that. Besides, if NewfieBilko is really a newfie, then I am sure it is intended in the best of spirits and charm.
