Yii file include does not work, while i can access it by typing in URL

I'm having an issue with an include/require.

I made a dir in my root file:

root/includes
root/includes/something.inc.php

Now i try to include/require that file into my webapp:

require(Yii::app()->baseurl.'/includes/something.inc.php');

But it says failed to open stream: No such file or directory

When i go to mydomain/includes/something.php it just works.

Why o why can't I include/require this file?

Yii(1) offers multiple shortcuts to various paths. The most commonly used one are available as Yii::app()->baseUrl and Yii::app()->basePath.

Both shortcuts serve different purposes and act on a different level. baseUrl represents the url your application is available from on the web. And has it's use if you want to link assets and files by their public url. basePath acts on the filesystem level. Includes are almost ever done on the filesystem-level. This mismatch is the cause of your problem.

You try to instead:

require(Yii::app()->baseurl.'/includes/something.inc.php');

by:

require(dirname(__FILE__).'/includes/something.inc.php');
