I have set apache so that all requests go to a file /var/www/common_index.php
Now, common_index.php looks at requested file name and sources appropriate file /var/www/123/public_html/requested_file.php
I am having problems when I include a file (with relative path) in requested_file.php. It tries to search for file in /var/www instead of /var/www/123/public_html/
How to solve this?
You can change the working directory in requested_file.php before calling include to make it work:
chdir(dirname(__FILE__));
include 'path/to/file.php';
or for PHP 5.3+
chdir(__DIR__);
include 'path/to/file.php';
If you don't want to change the working directory (which will affect other file system operations) then just append the path each time you do an include using the magic constant __DIR__:
include dirname(__FILE__) . '/path/to/file.php';
include __DIR__ . '/path/to/file.php'; # for PHP 5.3+
where the path is relative to the file where you used the code above.
Edit your DocumentRoot in your Apache config.
Set it to /var/www/123/
You can use __DIR__:
$path = __DIR__;
Whereas $path contains the path of the file which contains this line
