incuding a file

[Danny696]

I Was wodering what is the stafest way of including globas

the most common one is

<?php include "globals.php";

but ive seen things like

<?php include_once (DIRNAME(__FILE__) . '/globals.php');

and like

<?php include_once "globals.php';

and

<?php include("globals.php"); ?>

and

<?php include 'globals.php';

and

<?php include "$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];"

and

<?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/globals.php');

 

mccodes normally uses the first one but i was wondering whats the best and safest way of doing it?

Well, consider this a question you should be asking your host.

Do they have open_basedir set? And is it pointed to the user's public_html, some host's don't allow file include's outside of public_html. So if open_basedir is set best is to:

 

include_once('globals.php');
