include(); problems

[Anon]

When I include a URL such as:

/home/leapingfrog/www/backend/scripts/poller/index.php

in one of my pages, it loads it fine.
PAGE URL: http://someserver.com/arc7/

but that same, exact URL won't load in another page I have.
PAGE URL: http://someserver.com/arc7/misc/polls/index.php

I don't get it. Just because it's located in a subdirectory or what? I'm confused. It will load fine with the http:// syntax, but I need the DOCUMENT_ROOT syntax for my script to run properly.

When I have the script including the page the exact same on both pages, it still won't include(); the page! Aach!

Any ideas?

BTW - Here is the error message I receive:

Warning: Failed opening '/home/leapingfrog/www/backend/scripts/poller/index.php?' for inclusion (include_path='') in /home/www/arc/config/arc7-functions.inc on line 141

I don't know if that will be of any help..

It might help if you post some actual PHP code that is causing the error. Just a snippet from each script will do...

http://someurl.com/arc7/ setup:

<B>1. index.php</B> - Sets database entry number (where it is located, etc.) and includes the template:

include("http://someurl.com/arc7/default/templates/arc7-tmpl.tmpl");

<B>2. arc7-tmpl.tmpl-</B> creates HTML template, requires critical function file.

require("arc7-functions.inc"); ## contains functions and prints/parses content from the database

<B>3. arc7-functions.inc</B> - parses the database data and looks for [include]somepage[/include] tags. If it finds a tag like this in the data, it tries to include that page into the script:

include("whateverpage.php");

This is where I get the error. The index.php page is the most important, setting variables that tell the arc7-functions script where to look in the database for the page content. index.php determines exactly what will appear on each page.

If I put an exact copy of index.php in my /arc7/ folder, the include function will work. If I put that exact some script copy in /backend/scripts/ttrctr/, I get an error saying it can't include that page.

I hope this doesn't sound too confusing.

Thanks for any help,

Yes! I fixed it! It turns out that it was trying to include the query_string after each URL in each include(); function I had, and including the query string with the include(); function only works with the http:// syntax.

I still don't know why it worked in one page and not another, but it works now in both pages, so yay.

Thanks for your help,
