Because of these relative paths in require, I often need to create several version of one file just because I need to adjust the require path down one folder.
There has to be a smarter way to do this.
I have literally 5 copies of my website's navigation system depending on which subfolder is calling it.

Have you considered using the path module built into Node.js? It allows you to easily create and manipulate paths, including joining paths together, normalizing them, and more.

For example, the path.join() method can be used to join multiple paths together into one, while path.normalize() can be used to normalize a path so that it is in a standard format.

I dont use js at all, the filename was from some random tutorial I was just readin

I've fixed this issue with session variables that check where the user is coming from. Is this dumb?

if($_SESSION["page"] == "categories") {
$requirepath = "../../dbfiles/db.php";
}
else if($_SESSION["page"] == "login") {
$requirepath = "../dbfiles/db.php";
}

No. Smart. And depending wtf u want, u can use the path module built into Node.js to dynamically generate the appropriate path for the required file without having to create multiple session variables. Also, if ur working with an MVC architecture, u can use the Controller and Model parts to manage the database connections, 100% eliminating the need for the require path.

Use __DIR__ to refer to the included script's directory so that your requirepath always resolves to the same file regardless of where it's being included.
$requirepath = __DIR__ . "../../dbfiles/db.php";

Or you can use global paths with something like
$base_path = realpath(".");
$requirepath = $base_path . "/scripts/dbfiles/db.php";

I have not tested either of these so you may need to do adjutstments.
