I am wondering if its possible to create symlinks. For example, i have a subdomain called "admin" for my host, but would like it to be able to access the same library files as the main website in the root folder. <br /><br />The only way I would know how to do this is to create a symlink within the subdomain directory (ie libraries) that links to a directory within the main www root folder also called libraries. This way the following would evaluate to the same directory on the server:<br /><br />$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/libraries/' <br /><br />regardless of whether I'm calling that from within my subdomain or from the main www location.<br /><br />Any ideas from the guru's out there?<!--content-->
Hi.<br /><br />While it is not possible for a regular user to create symlinks, if you really need them you can submit a help desk ticket and ask the techs to create it for you <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

Or you could put the libraries folder outside of your web space (same level as public_html) and link with the full path to the libraries.<!--content-->

In Lazarus I use<br /><br />$include_path = dirname(__FILE__);<br /><br />Which gives me the directory path of the file in question. Couldn't you use something similar?<!--content-->

Ah the dreaded Drupal. I tried to get Lazarus to work with it but it does something to it's modules that I couldn't be bothered investigating.<!--content-->
