Hi,

I'm having a problem referring to other files in my public_html directory �

Below is a short script (test.php) to show the problem...

<?php
$filename1 = "c:\\\\xitami-25\\app\\public_html\\title.php";
$filename2 = "http://home/title.php";
$filename3 = "title.php";

echo "\n";
echo $filename1."\n";
if (file_exists($filename1)){echo "found it\n";}
else {echo "not found\n";}

echo $filename2."\n";
if (file_exists($filename2)){echo "found it\n";}
else {echo "not found\n";}

echo $filename3."\n";
if (file_exists($filename3)){echo "found it\n";}
else {echo "not found\n";}
?>

both the above test.php and the file it refers to, title.php are in the same
directory.
Running the above under dos gives the following results...

c:\\xitami-25\app\public_html\title.php
found it
http://home/title.php
not found
title.php
found it

Running it under windows gives this...

c:\\xitami-25\app\public_html\title.php
found it
http://home/title.php
not found
title.php
not found

the url for the test.php is http://home/test.php
how come it doesn't find either filename2 or 3?

under dos I'm running test.php from within it's own directory. It finds
filename1 and 3.

Can someone help me to understand what is happening here?

many thanks in advance,

mori
