Question

I have this setting.

 root dir| 
       index.php
       config.php
       file.php  |
                 |
                 |scripts|a.js
                 |
                 |account
                         |index.php
                         |         |
                         |member   |index.php

• Now, I’ve included index.php of member dir into index.php of account dir. Also , the account index.php includes the config.php which contains,

  define( 'PATH', (__DIR__) );
  

Now , for all includes in account index.php I use,

require_once( PATH . '\file.php' ); 

and is working properly. But when I try to add the path for script src such as,

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php '.PATH.'scripts/livevalidation.js ?>"></script>

I get an error, so how can i include the a.js in scripts folder into index.php of account using the globally defined path.

Thanks.

Answer 1

The PHP “__DIR__” and “__FILE__” are absolute to the server. You shouldn’t need to use either for your script.

<script src="/scripts/livevalidation.js"></script>

Also, your PHP looks like it has some syntax errors, this would be correct (although still wouldn’t work:

<script src="<?php echo PATH.'/scripts/livevalidation.js'; ?>"></script>
