title: Including PHP files with Laravel framework
body: <p>I am trying to "include" a php script into one of my views (landing.blade.php).  </p>
  
  <p>The script is in: </p>
  
  <pre><code>/laravel-master/public/assets/scripts/config.php
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I try to include this code in the view:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php include_once('/assets/scripts/config.php'); ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get the error:  <code>include_once(/assets/scripts/config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory</code></p>
  
  <p>This is on localhost using MAMP.  I'm not sure if there is a different set of rules I need to use with Laravel 4 to include a php file.  Thank you for your help!</p>
