File Includes

[dj4uk]

I have the majority of my files in the root directory of the website with a include directory for any file includes needed.

This works fine using:

include('include/file.php');

However I also have another directory that contains files that also need these include files. I would have thought the following would work:

include('../include/file.php');

But I get a Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\home\****\include\file.php on line 10.

On line 10 is the following code which works fine apart from when this include file is called in anything other than the root directory.

Line 10: session_register("s_custid");

Help appreciated.

why not just make a var like so

$the_file = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/include/file.php";

of course change the paths to suit your needs

I've tried that but $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] returns nothing i.e. "".

Plus the error isn't (I don't think) related to not finding the file its just it times out for a page in a directory and not one in the root directory.

The maximum execution time is to stop PHP becoming a runaway process. Is there any code in your scripts which could cause them to hang? e.g. infinite loops etc ...

I would advise you add some debug echo statements to track down the exact point where the script hits a bottle kneck, you'll be half way toward solving your problem then.
