Template & PHP Includes

I started using Dreamweaver 8 today and I just stumbled across a problem.

I use a lot of php includes and templates throughout my sites. When I create a
new template all the include paths are changed adding the Template folder to
the beginning of the path. MX never used to do this... I should think that the
Template should leave alone any path within the PHP tags.

Has anyone else run into this problem? Or is it only me?

Thanks.

Are your includes IN the /Templates folder?

No, the includes are not. I set the include path at the top of every page as I
use different classes for various things. One being the cfg file that holds the
database connection.

For example...

include("cfg.php");

get turned into: include("Templates/cfg.php");

When I go back to MX04 no problems, the Templates leave the paths in the PHP
alone.

I think this is definitely a bug!

Have you set the http:// field in the local site definition?

There were quite a few changes in how this all fits together going from
DMX2004 to DW8.

I have my site home page defined, but he problem still exits.

Here is a better example.
This code is what displays when I create a new template before I save:


include("file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/User/My%20Documents/Site/Template
s/banners.php");

When I save the file this is what dreamweaver creates:

include("Templates/banners.php");

This is a huge problem, because all my pages, on my corporate intranet have
include files that are protected for easy updating.

I am uploading to a FTP site.

Thanks.

Do we have a solution for this? It isn't Mac specific, I'm on PC and end up with path rewriting that states that php includes are in the Templates folder when of course they are not.

Did you answer my question?

I am getting this same problem as well..

My include:

<?php include("nav_toggle_by_cookie.inc.php"); ?>

is being changed to:

<?php include("Templates/nav_toggle_by_cookie.inc.php"); ?>

Is there a fix for this?

Hope this helps you all.

Hi,

Yes, I did find a way around this problem. I changed all my include statements
to:

include 'cfg.php';

I removed the () and the double quotes and now it works like it should!

Thanks.
