include_path problems

cjliu42

I have a problem using include function

("http://www.domain.com/file_name.html")

example of error

Warning: Failed opening 'http://localhost/includes/display_ads.inc' for inclusion (include_path='.;c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\development'

I have checked my httpd.conf and it contains the following

ServerRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache"

DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/development"

I have changed the include_path in php.ini to both the following but it still do not work, why???

include_path=".;c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\development"

AND changed to

include_path=".;c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\"

Do I need to change additional variables in PHP.ini?

Thanks

include() and require() look for files relative to the $PHP_SELF, and then in the include_path. don't use [url]http://[/url] unless you are including a remote file. instead try:

include("/path/to/file/some_file.inc");

I need to use http because I am including the file no matter where the .html is.

example

header_nav.html

needs to be included in all files

such as

index.html
/new/news.html

Hope you can help. Thanks

then give it the absolute path instead of using relative path, then it's the same for wherever you include it.

tHANX MATE. IT WORKED. Instead of using getenv("HTTP_HOST"), I used getenv("DOCUMENT_ROOT").

I think it would of taken ages for me to find the answer. Thanks again.
