problem with set_include_path

[southbeach]

The problem may not be with PHP at all but with me understanding what I am doing and how it is meant to be done! ;-)

I have this

set_include_path(
    __DIR__.'/'
    .PATH_SEPARATOR.
    __DIR__.'/include/'
    .PATH_SEPARATOR.
    __DIR__ . '/include/ar/'
    . PATH_SEPARATOR .
    __DIR__.'/include/ci/'
    .PATH_SEPARATOR.
    __DIR__.'/include/gl/'
    .PATH_SEPARATOR.
    __DIR__.'/include/in/'
    .PATH_SEPARATOR.
    __DIR__.'/include/pf/'
    .PATH_SEPARATOR.
    __DIR__.'/include/setup/'
    .PATH_SEPARATOR.
    __DIR__.'/include/so/'
    .PATH_SEPARATOR.
    __DIR__.'/ajax/'
    .PATH_SEPARATOR.
    __DIR__.'/ajax/setup/'
    .PATH_SEPARATOR.
    __DIR__.'/common/'
);

which translates to

./:/home/name/public_html/name.com/:/home/name/public_html/name.com/include/:/home/name/public_html/name.com/include/ar/:/home/name/public_html/name.com/include/ci/:/home/name/public_html/name.com/include/gl/:/home/name/public_html/name.com/include/in/:/home/name/public_html/name.com/include/pf/:/home/name/public_html/name.com/include/setup/:/home/name/public_html/name.com/include/so/:/home/name/public_html/name.com/ajax/:/home/name/public_html/name.com/ajax/setup/:/home/name/public_html/name.com/common/

I then use a simple

include_once('common.php');

which is a script found within

/home/name/public_html/name.com/common/

but I am getting an error

<b>Warning</b>:  include_once(common.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in <b>/home
/name/public_html/name.com/ajax/ajaxControl.php</b> on line <b>39</b><br />

What am I doing wrong?

I have never used this approach and just edited a lot of scripts - would hate to reverse my decision. :-(

Thank you all in advance for your assistance!

Replaced __DIR__ with $_SERVER["CONTEXT_DOCUMENT_ROOT"] and that fixed the problem.

Of course, root cause is now obvious. ;-)

That being said, if my solution is NOT a real solution, please do advise.

Knowing exactly what you ARE trying to do would help in determining that.
