RE: [PHP-DB] include() statement hell!
So, maybe this is the question. Can you include a file from /main/page.php by using a path of /includes/dblib.inc? Probably not. PHP can see the whole filesystem, not just the area that is limited to your account. So, when you try to include /includes/dblib.inc it is trying to go down to the SYSTEM root and open up a subdirectory called includes and get the file dblib.inc inside it. If you copy the dblib.inc to the same directory as page.php, you should only have to say: include(dblib.inc); However, if you have this layout: /your/account/dir/main/page.php /your/account/dir/includes/dblib.inc /your/account/dir/includes/userlib.inc Then page.php would have to say: include(../includes/dblib.inc); Which would go back one directory, THEN into the includes subdirectory, and then it could find dblib.inc I would definitely add: error_reporting(2039); ...to the top of your page.php code to see if you can pick up any errors. Also, check your error log if you have one (contact your hosting company if you're not sure). I would definitely try to solve this the normal way by finding the problem with the paths rather than trying to screw with your php.ini or httpd.conf file - otherwise you'll have a script that might not work if you ever have to move your scripts or copy them to a development server or something. - Jonathan -Original Message- From: Brad Melendy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 7:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] include() statement hell!

RE: [PHP-DB] include() statement hell!
I have found the best way for me is always include with the fullpath ie, include(/usr/httpd/mysite/include.inc); or: include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']/include.inc); Then you can include files that are elswhere: include(/usr/httpd/virtual-domain-includes/multi-user-include.inc); these will work no matter what dir or sub dir the page calling the include is in...

Thanks Jonathan,
Your suggestions were very helpful, especially turning on the error logging.
Here is where I'm at now:

/include/dblib.inc
/include/userlib.inc
/main/page.php
My include statements in /main/page.php:
include(../include/dblib.inc);
include(../include/userlib.inc);
All the fuctions I call from dblib.inc work great, however, I have only a
single function in userlib.inc and it generates an error. The error I get
is:

Here is the file userlib.inc:

{
global $session;
$session[id] = $id;
$session[login] = $login;
$session[password] = $pass;
$session[logged_in] = true;
}
?
Lastly, if I paste the above function into page.php (without the
session_start and session_register lines) it works fine. I've tried giving
the function a different name, changing case, all sorts of stuff. I've
tried renaming it to userlib.php and I've opened the file directly in my
browser with the error_reporting(2039); at the top and no error messages,
yet it is as if the file never gets included. I've tried including ONLY
userlib.inc and pasting all the dblib.inc functions into page.php (to rule
out dblib.inc screwing things up) and still I get the error.
I am truly confounded at this point. Thanks for any suggestions you have.

You should also put quotes around your keys in your arrays if they're

$session[logged_in] instead of $session[logged_in]
It's good coding habit, and it sometimes will save you from some constant
headaches (pun intended for everyone who has run into this problem before).

Thanks Jonathan,
Your suggestions were very helpful, especially turning on the error
logging.
Here is where I'm at now:
Files in use:
/include/dblib.inc
/include/userlib.inc
/main/page.php
My include statements in /main/page.php:
include(../include/dblib.inc);
include(../include/userlib.inc);
All the fuctions I call from dblib.inc work great, however, I have only a
single function in userlib.inc and it generates an error. The error I get
is:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: cleansession()
Here is the file userlib.inc:
php?
session_start();
session_register( session );
function cleanSession( $id, $login, $pass )
{
global $session;
$session[id] = $id;
$session[login] = $login;
$session[password] = $pass;
$session[logged_in] = true;
}
?
Lastly, if I paste the above function into page.php (without the
session_start and session_register lines) it works fine. I've tried
giving
the function a different name, changing case, all sorts of stuff. I've
tried renaming it to userlib.php and I've opened the file directly in my
browser with the error_reporting(2039); at the top and no error messages,
yet it is as if the file never gets included. I've tried including ONLY
userlib.inc and pasting all the dblib.inc functions into page.php (to rule
out dblib.inc screwing things up) and still I get the error.
I am truly confounded at this point. Thanks for any suggestions you have.
I think I am almost out of Include Statement Hell. ;-)

So, maybe this is the question. Can you include a file from

Probably not. PHP can see the whole filesystem, not just the area that
is
limited to your account. So, when you try to include
/includes/dblib.inc
it is trying to go down to the SYSTEM root and open up a subdirectory
called
includes and get the file dblib.inc inside it.
If you copy the dblib.inc to the same directory as page.php, you should
only
have to say:
include(dblib.inc);
However, if you have this layout:
/your/account/dir/main/page.php
/your/account/dir/includes/dblib.inc
/your/account/dir/includes/userlib.inc
Then page.php would have to say:
include(../includes/dblib.inc);
Which would go back one directory, THEN into the includes subdirectory,
and
then it could find dblib.inc
I would definitely add:
error_reporting(2039);
...to the top of your page.php code to see if you can pick up any
errors.
Also, check your error log if you have one (contact your hosting company
if
you're not sure).
I would definitely try to solve this the normal way by finding the
problem
with the paths rather than trying to screw with your php.ini or
httpd.conf
file - otherwise you'll have a script that might not work if you ever
have
to move your scripts or copy them to a development server or something.

You should also put quotes around your keys in your arrays if they're
non-numeric. For instance:
$session[logged_in] instead of $session[logged_in]
It's good coding habit, and it sometimes will save you from some
constant
headaches (pun intended for everyone who has run into this problem
before).

#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.

So, maybe this is the question. Can you include a file from /main/page.php by using a path of /includes/dblib.inc? dblib.inc has functions that do connections and queries to a mysql database. Even stranger yet, is that I have one other include file called userlib.inc that has authentication related session functions. Well, that hasn't worked at all no matter what, unless I put the functions in /includes/userlib.inc directly into the file /main/page.php. Once there, all the functions work fine. Otherwise, the only error messages I get are regarding unknown functions being referenced, yet, I never get an error that the include files can't be found. It's all crazy to me. Currently, both of my include files are called directly with two lines like: include(dblib.inc); include(userlib.inc); They are both located in /main/ along side page.php which is calling them. They both seem to work this way, but as soon as I place them in /includes/ and try to call them using: include(includes/dblib.inc); include(includes/userlib.inc); I get errors saying that the functions can't be found, however, no errors saying it can't find the include files?? Lastly, even with both include files in /main/ I still have some strange problem with my userlib.inc file because the single function that is in there won't work unless the function is pasted directly into /main/page.php. I think I've made this message way too long but I appreciate your help. I've got the page working reliably with the functions all pasted into page.php but not while including those functions. I just can't think of what could be making it difference. The functions are all the same, just running from an include file is a problem. Thanks again, just writing this up has helped to make more sense to me. I think the crux of the whole thing is the path. I'm using to including files in ASP and those can be relative so something like ../includes/dblib.inc works great. ...Brad Jonathan Hilgeman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... #1.

Re: [PHP-DB] include() statement hell!
The thing that sucks about having to rely upon the php.ini file is that the you must use a particular folder for all your include files, even if you are using files for several different sites. It makes much more sense to be able to put your include files for a particular site in that site. It's easier for backups, moving the site and for shared hosting. I've gotten it to work partially using the folder defined in the php.ini file, but I want to be able to specifiy a folder from within the calling php file, which is how you should be able to do it. ...Brad Dan Brunner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message 01c1d612$e94f0570$b3f7a718@doggy">news:01c1d612$e94f0570$b3f7a718@doggy...

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.

How about adding the following to httpd.conf: php_value include_path .:/usr/share/php:/path/to/webpages Because you can have per-site settings which are different from those of php.ini. Also you can have per-file settings by using the ini_set() function. If you're not able to change the httpd.conf file then just use ini_set() at the beginning of all your php files to specify an include path. -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.com.hk /* Support wildlife -- vote for an orgy. */ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
