rtrim () solved the issue. There was a newline sitting at the end of the
variable and messing it up! Thanks for all your help!

[PHP] include statement giving me hives! - help
I am new to all this, but here is the basic code:
$link_titles = file('links/master.txt');
$links_include = $link_titles[$point]; // path to directory
include $links_include;
If I echo the value of $links_include just prior to the include() function
it contains what I would expect it to contain and the file does exist. But I
get an error:
Warning: main(./main/links/topsites.php ) [function.main]: failed to create
stream: No such file or directory in . on line 23
Warning: main() [function.main]: Failed opening './main/links/topsites.php '
for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in on line 23
If I add the line:
$links_include = path to intended include file;
just prior to the include statement it works fine.
Am I missing something? I've tried a variety of renditions of the include()
statement and can't get it to react unless I 'hard code' the value of
$links_include.
Appreciate your help!!

So far so good. $myfile is now a pointer to this file, so you can't
print it like that. Use fgets() or something else to read your file.

Yes, you will.
You've only opened the file, you need to read it, and process it and
extract
the data that you want.
i.e.. $blah = fopen(http://a/a.html, r);
while ($blah) {
do something with it
}
and so forth Try php.net / google.com there's lost of examples of
sites
and pages using fopen to include data from other web sites...

Re: [PHP] include statement
This is because the PHP include statement is ment to include other blocks of
PHP code, rather than bits of HTML. Hence, it includes things from anywhere
on the system. To include things from under your current htdocs directory,
use...
include($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/includes/metatags.include");
though the more 'correct' method would be
readfile($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/includes/metatags.include");

Subject: [PHP] include statement
I'm a PHP newbie and am looking into using the include statement to
put things like the header and footer in so they are always the same.
I do this now with SSI. In SSI I'll use the following statement:
!--#include virtual="/includes/metatags.include" --
I like this cause it lets me use the same statement all over the site
and I don't have to worry about where the document is and how many
directories i have to go up an into "../../../../../"
I was guessing PHP's version would be:
?PHP
include("/includes/metatags.include");
?
However I get an error. If I put the absolute it works:
?PHP
include("/home/httpd/includes/metatags.include");
?
which is scary cause this worked too:
?PHP
include("/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf");
?
doesn't this seem like a huge security hole?
Well what I want is to use something like /inc/footer.html so i can
use the same PHP statements in any document and not worry about
getting it "../../../"
Any suggestions.

Re: [PHP] include statement
This all depends on your include_path set in the PHP config files; see the
manual section on config for more info.
About the security hole... yes it would be dangerous on a system where
accounts are given to untrusted users (ie, customers), but there are ways
to make PHP secure for multi-account environments as well; this is also is
described in the manual.

No. If you know can trust your scripts, this is possible, but trusted scripts
won't do any abuse, will they?
If you can't trust your scripts, use safe-mode, and it isn't possible any
more.

For your things (where you are including HTML), readfile just reads a file
and dumps it to the screen. This is fine, because you are just dealing
with
HTML, so no processing is required. include will actually try and parse
the
file as if it has PHP inside somewhere, which your HTML (probably) doesnt.
So, readfile uses less resources, and is much more like the SSI include
statement than PHP's include :)

Re: [PHP] include statement
Pretty much, yes (within the bounds of the permissions of the files. Most
webservers run as nobody on unix, and hence can only read those files which
nobody can (confusing, huh :)). But, unless you have a mallicious user with
upload access to your server, this isnt an issue. If you do, investigate
"Safe mode" this instant :)
