I am new to php and am trying to move my website over from another server. I think my problem relates to the fact that I have switched the DNS registration from my old site to HostRocket, but I am not sure.
I am trying to include files in my web pages and the $DOCUMENT_ROOT variable is not resolving to what I think it should. It has a value of
/home/abiza/public_html
but I think it should resolve to
/home/jeffgros/public_html
what do I have to do to change this?
I found a reference at http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.php
in Case 3. The third paragraph states
"You can set the PHP script document root by the configuration directive doc_root in the configuration file, or you can set the environment variable PHP_DOCUMENT_ROOT. If it is set, the CGI version of PHP will always construct the file name to open with this doc_root and the path information in the request, so you can be sure no script is executed outside this directory"
