Can't access PHP file from another folder

Question

I am trying to access a PHP file that is located in another folder.

$path =  $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
echo $path;

It's displaying: /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/mysqli

I am trying to redirect to welcome_employer.php in the folder "... mysqli/employers". How can I do this?

header('Location:'.$path.'/employers/welcome_employer.php');

Thanks

What output does this give you? – Tim Biegeleisen Apr 25 '15 at 12:01 — Tim Biegeleisen, Apr 25 '15 at 12:01

In particular, the

header('Location:'.$path.'/employers/welcome_employer.php');

Request will be interpreted, ultimately, by the browser. So rather then $path you need the site's base URL there.

I think you need to use path like

you can't use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];

use $_SERVER['host']; and then give your directory path
