Hello,

Example, if i am installing wordpress, i can install it in everywhere like home/a/b/c..

You can either use a relative path instead of an absolute path, or have a global include file which defines things like the absolute path to the root of your application that you can use to include other files from that point.

What do you mean about global include file? I am sorry i dont know

Most applications, like Wordpress, have a single include file that all other files include. It contains global application settings or options, like database connection information, the main URL of the site, things like that. It can also contain the path where your application is installed, so you can use that to include any other file. You can get the full path to the current directory using the __DIR__ constant, it will be set to the directory where the PHP file is.

 

<?php

echo 'This script is at ' . __FILE__ . '<br>';
echo 'The directory is ' . __DIR__ . '<br>';
echo 'The parent directory is ' . dirname(__DIR__) . '<br>';
