hi everybody i need some help i m creating a script i want to know that if i create a unique id database director in upb1 then how  can i tell other script about the db directory as in upb2.0 e.g; if i created a folder named: data_787dc897s97fs
then how to inform other script about this folder help needed....

Thats tricky thanks to the fact that all file paths are hard-coded in UPB1... Maybe some clever regex would do it, or some kind of patch in the textDB engine... I dunno...

My Professor says he prefers unix to windows because if you have a project (like UPB), and you decide to rename a global variable (like the db/), you can do it in one command.  However he never told us the command
Bottom line:  You're going to have to google it.  I know it's possible...

Also, This belongs in UPB1, and "may you" is NOT a good  topic name.

FYI: I think that you can actually do it in PHPEdit (it has a project-wide find/replace function)

As for the linux function, I cant remember what its called either, but I remember it works using Regular Expressions (stupid lack of Linux knowledge)

thx for replaying btd i hve created that dir ... i have created a cfg.php file and put a sting as follow
define('DB_DIR','dir-92121921912912',true);
the dir name is posted by the the script when first run.. which means when u first open the index file it will automatically generates the dir name and post it to cfg.php(configuration file).. and which is afterwards.. in func.inc.php..i have replaced these strings...
include "./db/config2.php";
with this
include DB_DIR."/config2.php"; do not place trailing slash if u have put a trailing slash already in cfg.php define string...
Now i have another problem not about this one another one please go to General Chit Chat forum to view that.
Special Thanks.
