Has anybody told him to check his PHP.INI??? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 6:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] include() statement hell!
#1. You may want to double-check the path where you're calling it from in case you're working with subdirectories. Let's saying you access a page at www.domain.com/page.php which calls www.domain.com/includes/header.inc. Then, header.inc includes the dblib.inc file at www.domain.com/includes/dblib.inc. However, the include's base directory will still be in page.php - the directory won't change to includes, so for header.inc to include dblib.inc, it has to say: include("includes/dblib.inc"); NOT include("dblib.inc"); Otherwise, it will be trying to include www.domain.com/dblib.inc because the page that started the whole chain reaction of includes is located at www.domain.com/page.php #2. If you have error reporting turned off, and there is a parsing error in your files, the page may just die without giving a reason. Try turning off any error reporting and also access those include files like userlib.inc directly in your web browser to see if PHP reports any errors. You may need to change the extension to something like userlib.inc.php for the web server to recognize the request correctly. #3. Please give us a little more detail on the errors you're getting (any specific messages would be nice). - Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: Rick Emery [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 3:42 PM To: 'Brad Melendy'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] include() statement hell! did you start each include file with: <?php ?> If not, PHP treats the code within as straight text -----Original Message----- From: Brad Melendy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 5:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] include() statement hell! Ok, I've spent some time reading the docs at php.net and I'm still confused. After a couple hours, I have an include file working with a statement like: include ("dblib.inc"); However, to add to my confusion, I've got a second include file statement on the next line: include ("userlib.inc"); And that doesn't work. Most crazy of all, if I just put the darn functions all in the PHP file that is trying to call the include files, everything works perfectly. So far I have my include_path line in the pho.ini file set to no value since I'm just using include files that exist in the same directory as the calling php file. this after I could NOT get the files to be properly recognized from their own include directory. As far as I'm concerned, you should be able to include a relative path with the included filename and have it work. Too bad that doesn't work in PHP. So, long story short, I'm about to give up on include statements and just copy and paste my functions all over the place. Does anyone have any ideas why this is so difficult for me? What am I missing? This stuff is easy in ASP but PHP is giving me serious heart-ache. :-( Thanks for any tips or suggestions. ....Brad -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
