Including Functions

[kycan]

I have a small problem that I can't find a solution to.

I have a file included that has a few functions in it. But if I try to call those functions in the main php file, it tells me I'm trying to call an undefined function.

Like this.

include("file.php");
asmallfunction();

The function "asmallfunction" is inside of "file.php" but that code gives me an error.

Please help!

try "require"-ing it, not "include"-ing it.

like this:

require("file.php");
asmallfunction();

hope it helps.

no good. =(

is the relative path to file.php correct and is the spelling right?

[kycan]

I think it was the path to the file. I was using a URL for the path. I don't tihnk it liked that.

I'm now using an absolute path and it works. Thanks for the responses!

If you used an URL for the require/include call, it will be processed by the webserver you are requesting it from before being included in your php document. So if it only contained function definitions, after being processed by the http server it will return nothing but blank space! Follow?
