Till now, I was including files as below.



But in win 2003, entry into parent paths from script is disabled by default. So I cannot use the above one.

The other way is to define a virtual directory for the site and to use it as below.



where vd is the name of virtual directory.

But when the name of virtual directory is changed, we will have to change large number of files. The server is remote and we do not have any control on it. The server admins may transfer files from one machine to another at their wish.

In this situation, may I know, what should be the correct way to include files so that it is possible to move from one server to another without changing the scripts ?

In this case,why can't you put the include files you are using in one file and include it in all the pages.When the directory name is changed ,you have to change in only one file.Not in all files.I think this could be easier.

Thanks for the reply.

But I did not understand your idea. How can I include all the include files related to different modules in a single file ? For e.g. my employee mgmt module contains an employee form. How can I include that in the leave mgmt. module ?

AFAIK, we cannot conditionally include files in ASP. Script runs from top to bottom, go through all include files and produce result.

My problem is : what can I do with the include statement



when the name of virtual directory changes ?

I said to put all the include files into an single file locally.So that it could be easier for u to handle the directory name changing issue.But it is not good to include all the files which is not related to the page.Sorry It didnt come in my mind.
