when on index.php , I do require_once(/all_fns.php) . all_fns.php itself requires files with paths

  • 0

when on "index.php", I do require_once("/all_fns.php").

"all_fns.php" itself requires files with paths relative to all_fns.php (itself).

My question is, should I write the paths on all_fns relative to all_fns.php or to index.php?

This is all very confusing to me and wanted to get it straight.

    They are treated as relative to index.php.

    If you need to reference a file relative to the include, use

    __DIR__."/relative/file.php";
