symbolic link (or any other idea) question...

[christi1]

Alright...

I have 3 accounts: one, two and three.

In account one, I have the following:

/
/admin/
/admin/files1/
/admin/files2/
/graphics/
/includes/
/products/

I need accounts two and three to have the following exact same content as account one:

/
/admin/
/admin/files2/
/graphics/
/products/

While maintaining the following separate directories for accounts two and three:

/admin/files1/
/includes/

Our /admin directory for account one is .htaccess protected as well.

I should the files in /includes carry different variables for each account, including layout header and footer, etc.

Is there a relatively easy way to achieve this?? I basically need 2 sites with the exact same content, but different header, footer and globals as are located in our /includes directory and different order information as is located in our /admin/files1 directory.

It seems extremely redundant to me to create 2 complete sites with all of the above same information when only the information in 2 directories remains different.

Any help or ideas will be much appreciated.

Further notes hat may help: I do have root access and am extremely proficient in PHP.

One way, since you are proficient in php .....

Database your data/images for the ./files* /graphics /products.

Then, for each account, dynamically serve up the content as needed, including the appropriate headers/footers.
