Include Test

Click these two links to hop back and forth between the two servers (test output at the bottom):
http://www.csulb.edu/~cota/includetest/subfolder (php v4.4.1, apache v1.3.37)
http://skua.csulb.edu/cota/includetest/subfolder (php v5.2.3, apache v2.2.4 - doesn't work right)

SCRIPT_FILENAME: /home/dh/cota/htdocs/includetest/subfolder/index.php
PATH_TRANSLATED:
SCRIPT_NAME: /~cota/includetest/subfolder/index.php
DOCUMENT_ROOT: /home/web/gobeach

For this test, I have two files. One is called index.php and the other is called vars.php. index.php is located in /subfolder and vars.php is located in /inc

The content of vars.php is:

<?php $color = 'green'; ?>

This file (index.php) then includes vars.php with the following include statement:

include '../inc/vars.php';

and then the output is displayed with the following code:

echo "Color defined in vars.php: $color";

Here is the output:

Color defined in vars.php: green
