Help With Include Files

[Anon]

Hello,

I have two files:

/dirx/add.php
/globals/include/incthis.php

I would like to include the second file in the first file using the following code in /dirx/add.php:

include "/globals/include/incthis.php"

but it gives me the error:

Warning: Failed opening '/globals/include/incthis.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in C:\websites\mysite\dirx\add.php on line 6

Can someone give me step-by-steps to solving this? I am a newbie to php.

Thank you very much.

I've a bad feeling about what you are doing here.

I take it that from your www directory (possibly public_html) you have a directory called dirx and a directory called globals containing a directory called include.

If so then you should not have a leading / on your include command:

include("globals/include/incthis.php") would be the correct method.

Try that.

add.php should have this code.

<?
include("/globals/include/incthis.php");
some code;
more code;
?>

check your include code syntax.

Nope, that still doesnt work.

Do I need to set something in the php.ini like php_include_path = something
right now its

php_include_path =

(its blank)

thanks anyways

What you are trying to do results in the dir:

/dirx/globals/include/incthis.php

Thats wrong!!

first you have to go to a upper dir.
so use
include("../globals/include/incthis.php");

and don't forget the ;

you can also use
include("$DOCUMENT_ROOT/globals/include/incthis.php");

I hope this helpes
