    copied!<p>Considering this article <a href="http://docs.joomla.org/Developing_a_Model-View-Controller_Component_-_Part_4_-_Creating_an_Administrator_Interface#Example_roll-out" rel="nofollow">Developing a MVC component for Joomla</a>, following is the code to include the general template,</p> <pre><code>$pathToGeneralView = strchr(dirname(__FILE__), dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])); $pathToGeneralView = str_replace(dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']),'.',$pathToGeneralView ); $pathToGeneralView = $pathToGeneralView . "/../../general/"; &lt;-- returning path from current position. ... &lt;?php require_once $pathToGeneralView . 'navigate.header.php'; ?&gt; &lt;P&gt;Do something &lt;?php require_once $pathToGeneralView . 'navigate.footer.php'; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>With the file system hierarchy,</p> <pre><code>./com_compname/views/general/navigate.header.php &lt;-- sniplet code for the header ./com_compname/views/general/navigate.footer.php &lt;-- sniplet code for the footer ./com_compname/views/mngtable1/view.html.php ./com_compname/views/mngtable1/tmpl/default.php * ./com_compname/views/mngtable2/view.html.php ./com_compname/views/mngtable2/tmpl/default.php * </code></pre> <p>Since the general template component is just under the <code>../../general</code> folder, why do the author bothering to use strchr, str_replace to deal with the folder path? Isn't it <code>../../general/navigate.header.php</code> or <code>../../general/navigate.footer.php</code> enough?</p> <p>Thanks.</p>
