✓ Works from ANY folder
✓ Detects automatically
✓ No relative paths
✓ No manual adjustments

✅ STEP 3 — Use Everywhere (SIMPLE)

At the top of any PHP file in your entire portal:

require_once __DIR__ . '/../_core/autoload_path.php';


That’s it.

From now on:

✔ CORE_PATH, AUTH_PATH, ADMIN_PATH, etc.
✔ ASSET_URL, FAVICON_URL, etc.

All work perfectly anywhere.

🚀 Example Usage
File: /Captain/kpi.php
require_once __DIR__ . '/../_core/autoload_path.php';
require_once CORE_PATH . '/_pdo_db_connect.php';

File: /Admin/reports/monthly/index.php
require_once __DIR__ . '/../../_core/autoload_path.php';
require_once ADMIN_PATH . '/reports/monthly/functions.php';

File: /StateHead/inbox/view.php
require_once __DIR__ . '/../../_core/autoload_path.php';

File: /index.php
require_once "_core/autoload_path.php";


All work flawlessly.
