@NogDogAug 16.2005 — #"/stuff/comments.txt" would look for the directory "stuff" right under the root directory on the current logical disk.
"stuff/comments.txt" would look for the directory "stuff" right under the directory from which the script is running.
"{$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}/stuff/comments.txt" would look for the directory "stuff" right under your base http document directory (e.g.: right under your "public_html" directory).
"../stuff/comments.txt" would look for the directory "stuff" under the directory which is one level up from the directory where your script is running.
Relative Paths
would like to know why the following code block doesnt work?
(text files in the corresponding positions) it cant find the file when the last block does with the exact same string?
[CODE]
…
$comments = fopen(“/stuff/comments.txt”,”a”);
fputs($comments, $txt.”rn”);
…
and why these do work?
[CODE]
…
$comments = fopen(“comments.txt”,”a”);
fputs($comments, $txt.”rn”);
…
[CODE]
…
define(“CV_DIR”, “/stuff/comments.txt”);
$comments = fopen(“CV_DIR”, “a”);
fputs($comments, $txt.”rn”);
…
thanks,
