[FIXED] PHP Cannot connect to database config

Issue

I have a folder structure like this:

|Home

|____|Admin

|__________|Pages

|

|

|db_config.php

Files located in the home directory, I set the connection to the db_config.php file as follows: include("db_config.php");

For files located in the pages directory, I set to:

include("..\\..\\db_config.php");

This setting works fine on my local and doesn't work when I up my website to 000webhost. What can I do to solve this problem? Thanks

Solution

Simply change

include("..\..\db_config.php");

to

include("../../db_config.php");

\ only works on windows, Linux uses / (which your host is using probably) BTW, always use /, windows accepts it too.
