How to require a config file in a template and in function.php?

Question

I made a config.php file where I store some arrays for configuration like LDAP and other things. I need to call it on different templates but I also need to require it into function.php.

When I do this this, I have warning and all my tables become Undefined.

EDIT

I found this solution : call my config.php into functions.php with : require ( get_template_directory() . '/config.php' );

Replaced this require from all my tempate/views by global $ARRAY_NAME;

Answer 1

It is depends on where your config.php file is located. Write code in active theme's functions.php

1. If file is on root of WordPress installtion: require_once(ABSPATH .'config.php');

2. If it is on active Theme's root directory: require_once('config.php');

@Baikare Sandeep : Hi, it is not a path problem. my config.php is at the theme's root. I can access it in my templates and functions.php with require ( get_template_directory() . '/config.php' );
