includes

[turbo99]

I have a php .inc page with some variables defined.

<?php
define('user','x');
define('pass','xx');
?>

I have another page requesting the the .inc page

<?php

include_once("includes/test.inc");

code requesting those variables

?>

The variables are not available.

Im running IIS and my default web has a folder called includes and the test.php in the default folder.

Am I missing something? Or is my call to that directory wrong?

thx in advance,

alex

define() generates constants not variables. They are subtly different. In the page requesting the include, you must refer to user and pass without a variable marker ($). For example:

echo 'Your user name is: '.pass;

Not this

echo 'Your user name is: '.$pass;

Now, that said, just include an 'echo "This is a test for my include";' in your include file to see if it is actually being loaded. You may need to call it with a different path like

include_once("./includes/test.inc");

depending on where "includes" actually is (in the web tree?)

that did it.
