Include files in php showing error

Question

I am having a folder called "db". where it contains 3 files which calls from the mail file "connect.php".

I created a new file in root directory and wrote a function

include "db/connect.php");
echo $connstring;

Here I am not getting any output, the $connstring is defined in another file in "db" folder named as "config.php" which is included in beginning of the "connect.php"

nothing is showing or you're getting an error. Which is it? What is the error? — Zebra

@dany in fact you don't need brackets at all with include/require so you could say there's a bracket that shouldn't be there too ;-) — Capsule

You have written wrong code for include function.

You should try this,

include ("db/connect.php");
echo $connstring;

Or this: include 'db/connect.php'; The PHP documentation doesn't explicitly tell it but you don't need brackets with include/require

I exactly was looking hot to include the files from different directories correctly.

This is how I got the code to achieve this from one of the project on Zend.

set_include_path( dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(FILE)))) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'library' );
