here is my project structure:
Web root/document root:
/var/www/ all the website files in the the 'www' folder
I want to use require or include a file inside my folder OUTSIDE the web root/document root:
/var/extra-files
how can i get a file inside the extra-files folder using require or include?
require "OUTSIDE DOCUMENT ROOT/extra-files
thanks
First make sure apache as permission to read the files on /var/extra-files, then you can use:
require "/var/extra-files/file.php";
You may want to read Difference between require, include and require_once?
Hmm wow... no way was it that easy. I just used this:
/var/extra-files/myfile.php
and it worked.
