So I have an issue with wordpress php includes after I've made an app via cordova for iOS. Basically, the code I have on the live website right now is:
include_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/wp-config.php');
include_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/wp-load.php');
include_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/wp-includes/wp-db.php');
include_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/wp-includes/class-phpass.php');
However this only works live. When I make the app, $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] does not return the correct path to include the file I need. What path can I use to make sure these wordpress files are included in my external php file?
Thanks!
I found out that the answer to this was to echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] in a test php file and it came back with my root path, this allowed me to change it accordingly and it then worked remotely and not just locally.
Thanks for the help!

I've got a legacy PHP project to fix a thing or two. I've downloaded it via FileZilla and served it on my local machine with a local copy of the database. The project is exactly the same with the live one, yet the live one can open the url/contact.html but on my machine it says no such file is found. All other pages go for url/categories/ or url/products/ so I've tried altering the url but no use.
All the other pages within the site are simple: one .php controller one .php model and one .tpl smarty template view. Requiring no .html at all. But this one is somehow different. The .htaccess file is exactly the same as the live version. I've tried adding a rewrite rule to direct every .html to .php but didn't work. I'm lost and out of options, please help? It doesn't even have to be an answer,"Try looking into that" would work too.
I'm working via XAMPP on windows, and I've configured the https:// to http:// on my project but that's all. Even hidden files are checked and confirmed.
have checked that contact.html is a static file (like a real existing html file?)
is there some kind of "routing" within the PHP of the project? If there is route urls might be really anyware.. in the mysql database, redis, a json file and whatnot.. have seen them all.
try to debug where and how it works on the "production" server by using some logging to a file edit the file through filezilla and log to a 'mylog.log' file until you find out what is going on.. or if the site is not used all the time by clients - you can just try to echo stuff to figure out how this exact /contact.html works
I'm working locally with XAMPP and Wordpress and I'm struggling with what is probably a very basic config issue. I'm not a professional IT guy, just a hobbyist hacker so I apologise in advance if I'm being a bit dumb but hopefully somebody can kindly offer some assistance here.
I've installed xampp locally on my iMac. I've then installed wordpress using the xampp wordpress installation package. Both seem to be working fine. To test the web server I created a simple .php test file and this generated the expected output when I entered "localhost/hello.php" into my browser. As far as wordpress is concerned entering "localhost/wordpress" gives me access the local wp interface to create and edit posts, change display settings etc etc. So far so good...
Now I want to create a new .php file that includes the instruction:
require('XXX/wp-blog-header.php')
where the "XXX" is obviously the relevant directory path for the wp header file.
I cannot find this file, or indeed local wordpress files, anywhere (and I've searched extensively). In the "home" location for "localhost" (which I know from my "hello.php" test) there isn't even a wordpress directory so I'm totally puzzled as to how typing "localhost/wordpress" in my browser is accessing the local wp installation or how to go about determining the correct directory path for the wp header file I'm looking for?
I do understand that with this stack a great deal of info will either be generated on the fly, or stored in the local mysql database as opposed to the file structure, but I thought I would find some reference or alias somewhere to help me trace this through and determine what path to include in my .php file for wp-blog-header.php.
I've searched this forum and while there are several related questions I haven't found anything that helps me with this particular issue.
Thanks vm,

The location of your Wordpress files is:
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apps/wordpress
Ok I found the path I needed and (partially) understand why I couldn't locate it. As Scriptonomy helped me identify the Wordpress files are held at:
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apps/wordpress
While my test.php file is held at:
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/test.php
The reason I couldn't locate either wp-blog-header.php or wp-load.php is because these there is an another "htdocs" sub-dir under the wordpress install location i.e.:
../apps/wordpress/htdocs
However I (as user "admin") don't have access to read this directory and so couldn't see the contents and therefore couldn't find the files. The permissions on the directory belong to "daemon" which I guess was the XAMPP installer package? Setting the directory path in my test.php file to:
../apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-load.php
somehow the web server (?) can read the file (even though I can't see it myself via the Finder application) and so the code is now giving the expected result.
So problem solved even if I don't quite understand the solution!
Thanks for replies which helped me eventually get to a solution!
Cheers,

I just moved my site to my local computer(a mac) but the site is not able to load properly because the include files doesn't seem to be able to include properly.
say eg:
I have the following lines:
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/pages/includes/functions.php');
on my index.php but the files are not able to be included properly.
I tried to use the functions in the file but it doesn't seem to be able to run the functions properly as per online.
I tried echo-ing $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] but it shows: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs
I'm not sure if that is the full path or if there is anything else i need to add to the url to get my files to be properly included. Perhaps i'm missing something. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I have recently transferred my files from localhost to a web site. I used XAMPP to develop the files and transfer them to the web host. Everything is working fine except that /XAMPP was somehow added to the URL and has prevented access to the main web page. Any ideas on how to modify/remove this would be appreciated. Thanks!
So my webpage www.webpage.com now becomes www.webpage.com/xampp and I need to change the path to a login page from the xampp path
Thanks!
Then, only move files inside htdocs/ to your webserver. Remove other
uploaded files first. After this, try again accessing your
application.
Greetings ! I have a project that has php index.php file in /htdocs. Also include files like dboperaitons.php, config.php and css file also in /htdocs/themes. Now I set up New site in dreamweaver opened the index.php file, it is running fine , but when I click on properties and ry to add or modify css property from dreamweaver, it gives me error saying unable to open file http://localhost/themes/en.css file because it is not found in the hard disk.
1. Why is it searching for file as http://localhost instead of c:/xampp/themes.
2. It says en.css file is remote file and cannot be edited.
How can I resolve this. Please guide.
you can fix this problem by browsing the file manually from its location.
When you define a site in Dreamweaver you need to make sure you set up both the local and remote locations in order for it to know where files are. It sounds like you have not defined the local site folders properly and DW is confused about where things go.
