Case-inconsistency of PHP file paths on Mac / MAMP?

Question

I\'m developing a PHP program on MAMP, and just realized the following screwy behavior:

echo \"
PATH = \".dirname(__FILE__);
include \'include.php\         


        

Answer 1

What about creating an include file in the same directory as your app.

Use it like so:

$trueDIR = include('get_true_dir.php');

From what you posted above, this should work. Yes, it's a bit of a hacky workaround, but it is a workaround, and should work even on systems not suffering from this issue.
