Include_path problem??

Anon

Hi all

First, my PHP was on the Window NT server. At the top of the file called form.php, I used
<? include("formhead.inc");?>.

But when I tried to run form.php, system said

Failed opening 'formhead.inc' for inclusion (include_path='') in e:/webdocs2/form.php on line 2.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance

Try to use the absolute path i.e:
include("e:/apache/htdocs/bla/bla/formhead.inc");

There is obv. somekind of path problem.

instead a absolute path
(may by on development the path is diferent than on production)

look at $DOCUMENT_ROOT variable...
(a phpinfo() should tell you that value)

and do:
include $DOCUMENT_ROOT.'path/to/formhead.inc';

for example in my code I have something like
include $DOCUMENT_ROOT.'lib/UploadImage.inc';

if you use: include $DOCUMENT_ROOT.'path/to/formhead.inc';
within a function you should declare $DOCUMENT_ROOT as global.

Hint(s):
- you dont need (')' as long as `include' is a statement not a function.
- use ' instead ", if you don't need to expand variables (should be little faster)
