php - How to include the wp-config file from a folder deeper in the site tree -
i don't know why have trouble including php files. in case i'm trying include wp-config
file can use of variables defined in it. file setup.php
@ level seen below
wp-admin wp-content . . themes . . mytheme . . setup.php . . . wp-includes . . wp-config.php . .
and file begins
<?php error_reporting(-1); ini_set('display_errors', 'on'); include '../../wp-config.php'; $con = mysqli_connect(db_host, db_user, db_password);
and error i'm getting is
warning: include(../../wp-config.php): failed open stream: no such file or directory
i tried doing
include_once get_home_path() . 'wp-config.php';
but get_home_path()
undefined, means in order use i'd have include file in defined, circular problem because, thread shows, don't know how pull in files @ different levels.
any in solving this?
if developing theme, shouldn't need manually include wp_config.php
, wordpress handle you. furthermore, strongly recommend looking in proper way access database via wordpress' actions & hooks; can't think of whole lot of reasons need hit directly, , if did, using global $wpdb , methods available object handle else.
