Ok Sorted it!!!!
A little one to watch out for...
In the virtual server setup in httpd.conf I had:
DocumentRoot /home/chrisbetts/public_html
^^
Note the lack of drive ID!
This works as expected if you DO NOT have an include_path
in either your php.ini or .htaccess files.
However if you do set an include_path (even if you redefine the
default path of ".") ALL attempts to execute a PHP script
(even a simple script comprising nothing more than <?="hello";?>)
will fail and you will get a warning like:
"Warning: Failed opening '/home/chrisbetts/public_html/blank.php'
for inclusion (include_path='.') in Unknown on line 0"
Solution:
Simply fully define the path INCLUDING the Drive ID
DocumentRoot c:/home/chrisbetts/public_html
I assume that it is a problem with the way the new include_path
is parsed or added to the DocumentRoot!
You have no idea how long I have searched for that!
Its the sort of thing you go blind to after scanning lines of code
for hours on end!
I hope this helps someone in the future!!!!
