   Hi guys!

   I've developed a navigation system, which I want to use within WordPress. The system itself is a class file. I'm using the "require" function to pull in the file and instantiating the class, then I'm calling the methods to build the navigation.

   However, I can't find the correct path for my folder "library" which is on the root.

   I've tried everything I know but I can't get at the root from within the "header.php" file.

   Any ideas?

   More details on the problem would be helpful.

   I assume when you say require, you are referring to...

   require('myfile.php'); etc....

   Could try $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] ...

   Print or Echo out your problem paths, and see what comes up...

   From: http://uk3.php.net/function.require

   If you use relativ paths in a php script (file A) that can be required by another php script (file B), be aware that the relativ paths in file A will be relativ to the directory, where file B is stored.
   You can use the following syntax in file A, to be sure that the paths are relativ to the directory of file A:

   <?
   require(dirname(__FILE__)."/path/relative/file_to_include.php");
   ?>

   and:

   if you want to include files with an absolut path reference, you can use:

   require ($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/path/to/file.php");

   this way you can organize your files in subdirectories trees.

   Hope that helps?

   @t31os: "I'm using the 'require' function" That's self explanatory. There is only the one such function in PHP, as far as I am aware.

   What I wrote is all of the detail there is to provide.

   I've tried all of the standard global variables and none worked.

   In the end, the only method that would / will work is: require (ABSPATH . '/library/classes/class.page.php');
