[ via Laughing Meme ] PHPGuru describes his method for setting up the folders of a new PHP application.
The bonus, using the __FILE__ idiom to set up portable paths. He has this in his config.php:
<?php
$_PATHS["base"] = dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . "/";
$_PATHS["includes"] = $_PATHS["base"] . "includes/";
$_PATHS["templates"] = $_PATHS["base"] . "templates/";
$_PATHS["pear"] = $_PATHS["base"] . "pear/";
$_PATHS["logs"] = $_PATHS["base"] . "logs/";
/**
* Set include path
*/
ini_set("include_path",
"$_PATHS[includes]:$_PATHS[pear]:$_PATHS[templates]");
?>Your app now can sort itself out wherever you drop it. Cool, huh?
