I have setup a forum and am wanting to use the fudapi on my home page.

As of now, I have domain.com/forum as the home to my forum.

On domain.com/index.php I want to use include the fudapi.inc.php (which has already been configured to include GLOBALS.php). The problem I am having is my domain is on cloud hosting. Because of this, I have a ROOT folder (named web in this case) which is not . Inside this folder, I have a content folder(similar to www, htdocs, and public_html on other hosts) and I have create the FUDForum folder here to house the cache, errors, files, etc.

The content folder is where index.php and the forum directory lives. What is the best way to be able to include the anything inside the FUDForum directory without compromising security?

Not sure I understand the question. Isn't there just one way to do it - include('/path/to/include/file.php')?

Yes, but the problem is the index.php lies within the web/content directory (the directory that is opened when you go to domain.com) and the forums I want to include are in web/FUDForum. There is no way to include files in this directory.

In the index.php, I have tried include ('../FUDForum/scripts/fudapi.inc.php'); but it can't find it.

Is there a safe way to include these fudapi in a file that is not in the same directory as the FUDForum?

If the relative path is valid and PHP can read the file you should be OK. Try to unlock the forum's files to see it it helps.

Still not working.. I was able to include the files now, but when i try to use a function from the api, it stops rendering the page where the function is called..

Is there a way i can see if the files have actually been included?

For example, I have the following code:
<?php 
include_once '../path/to/fudapi.inc.php';
include_once '../path/to/GLOBALS.php'; 
echo "Top poster: ". fud_fetch_top_poster()->alias ."\n";
?>


I put it in the content div of my page.. everything renders up until that code is called, then the loading of the page is stopped

Add the following debugging code to the script to see what's happening:

error_reporting(E_NOTICE | E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_COMPILE_ERROR);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);

GLOBALS.php should be loaded first. The correct code will be:

<?php 
include_once '../path/to/GLOBALS.php';
include_once '../path/to/fudapi.inc.php';
echo "Top poster: ". fud_fetch_top_poster()->alias ."\n";
?>
