Hunter, I can't help you with PHP but I suggest you aim this question direct to Raptor since he seems to know PHP.

Hunter · Jun 14, 2003

Did you try the obvious? I mean, did you check if you spelled the link correctly, especially look out for high and low case letters. This looks very much like php didn't find your file.

You cannot specify a URL for an include file.

[edit]
...at least not with PHP earlier than version 4.3 under Windows, according to the documentation.

Well, you could if you use sockets, but its a bit more trouble than its worth.

are right, ok so how will i include this file?

Don't use an URL, but an ordinary file-path like '/var/www/html/forums/PluhNews.php' (the thing looks similiar, if you use a Windows server).

Hunter · Jun 17, 2003

ahh right thanks

if the file is:

c:\apache\hdocs\forums\

what would it be?

Jesus. Did you ever thought of looking at the php documentation or a tutorial on the web? You're question is really simple, and is covered in a thousand places already...

this should help

PHP:

include 'forums/PluhNews.php';

Hunter · Jun 18, 2003

Fyfe it doesnt as i have already tried it and thats why i'm asking

also Jesco i downloaded PHP Triad and it set everything up itself i did nothing.

fyfe · Jun 18, 2003

Your trying to include c:\apache\htdocs\forums\PluhNews.php in c:\apache\htdocs\testing.php right?

Try putting testing.php in c:\apache\htdocs\forums and change the include statment to

PHP:

include 'PluhNews.php';

and see if it works. I've never used PHP on windows so I'm not sure how file permissions work with windows. The other option is to use an absolute path but they are ugly if you want to move the script to another server:

PHP:

include 'c:/apache/htdocs/forums/PluhNews.php';

I just found this in the user comments on the php manual try changeing

include_path='.;c:\apache\php\pear'

in php.ini to

include_path='/.;c:\apache\php\pear'

Hunter · Jun 19, 2003

ahh ok,

i've tried putting in various includes and it hasnt worked and i don't want the testing.php in the forums directory

thanks for the link fyfe
