Hello all,
I was wondering if this could be done. I would like to re-design my site where the files being called on is using global variables instead of using syntax "../" or "../../". I would like use a more readable approach using global variables like $dir_name/file_name instead if possible. I figured this way there will only be one place to update instead of scanning through the whole file doing a search and replace on each item.
Below is a general idea of what I would like. In this example I have four files: a global, header, footer and an index file. The index file includes the global file without a problem however I had problems executing the header and footer files when using variables as seen commented.
Respectively yours,
Rick
