    Posted: 07 March 2003 at 12:04pm

I'm really struggling to integrate a bunch of apps into a website when it comes to glue them all together and the apps are separated into their own directories. Note, I'm using relative path cuz migration will be easier.

say:

/sharedgraphics/graphic.gif
/commonfile1.asp
/commonfile2.asp
/forum/files.asp
/specials/specials1/index.asp
/specials/specials2/index.asp

commonfiles.asp's and commongraphics are to be used throughout the site (or on several apps)

Well there you see the beauty of virtual paths'. You would not have to worry about that. Using a relative path makes it hard to impossible to use the same include statement in different directories.

Well using include virtual, enables you to use the same code in any folder you might be because you always point from the web root. So if you have file inside the 5th down folder it does not matter where you call it from as the point ssi starts to look for the file is always the root. I believe MorningZ had an exellent tutorial/lesson before the forums was wiped maybe he still has the text flying around somewhere.
