php include doesn't work even inside the same folder

Question

reg.php is in members folder

<?php include "members/reg.php";?>  // doesn't work
<?php include ("members/reg.php");?>  // doesn't work

Then I replace reg.php in the same folder as the current file

<?php include "reg.php";?>  //doesn't work.

Answer 1

Try this

ini_set( 'error_reporting', E_ALL );
ini_set( 'display_errors', true );

include './members/reg.php';

Possibly the include worked but caused a silenced error.

Answer 2

With:

define('ROOT', dirname(__FILE__).DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);

you can define the root of your project (which is the one the file you put it in) and then call:

include ROOT."members/reg.php";
