FTP & File Question

Anonymous — GMT

When you FTP the files to your server, do you neccessarily have to FTP the 'db' files into a "[color="red"]'db'[/color]" folder ? Or can you FTP the 'db' files into a folder named 'Polls' as to eliminate the /[color="red"]db[/color]/ extension???

So instead of having:

http://XYZ.com/Polls/[color="red"]db[/color]/index.php

You could have it be:

http://XYZ.com/Polls/index.php ?????

Yes you can.

The db folder in the zip file just shows that are all the files within it are for the database version of Adv. Poll.
Hence why there is a folder called textfile for people without access to a database.

Thank you Auron...

Ok, Good... I just wanted to be 100% certain before I wiped everything out & started fresh. So the following values will certainly be automatically changed to "Polls" if done like that instead of 'db' also???

/* path */
$poll_path = "/catchusers/Polls/[color="red"]db[/color]";

require $poll_path."/include/config.inc.php";
require $poll_path."/include/$POLLDB[class]";
require $poll_path."/include/class_poll.php";
$CLASS["[color="red"]db[/color]"] = new poll[color="red"]db[/color]_sql;
$CLASS["[color="red"]db[/color]"]->connect();

$php_poll = new poll();

[b]WOULD AUTOMATICALLY BECOME:[/b]

/* path */
$poll_path = "/catchusers/[color="red"][b]Polls[/b][/color]";

require $poll_path."/include/config.inc.php";
require $poll_path."/include/$POLL[color="red"][b]POLLS[/b][/color][class]";
require $poll_path."/include/class_poll.php";
$CLASS["[color="red"][b]Polls[/b][/color]"] = new poll[color="red"][b]Polls[/b][/color]_sql;
$CLASS["[color="red"][b]Polls[/b][/color]"]->connect();

$php_poll = new poll();

[code]$poll_path = "/catchusers/Polls/db";
[/code]

that's the only bit you need to change is the poll path and make sure it is correct.

Example -
So you could have it as /catchusers/polls if you wanted. Just make sure you upload
all the files into the folder called polls.
