shared server meaning what?

I don't think you mean virtual domain hosting where 1 server hosts
multiple domains. Each domain would have it's own document root.

if you mean where you are working entirely in a subdirectory on 1
domain; i.e. domain.com/site1  vs. domain.com/site2
   maybe I'd beg to drop 1 file in the root with some obscure name other
than LIB.php... even as .LIB.php so it's more hidden.
   or I would just append the dir name in the include
        include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/site1/LIB.php");
   and "assume" that if it moves to another box that it would still stay
within the site1 dir. Else, it's not a hard search/replace.


on my dev server, I usually create multiple virtual domains

it's not, just trying not to leave out so much of the thread that the
