including problems!!

jonsof

I have the two php files as listed below

calling_include.php

<?
include_path='c:\phpdev\www\tests';

include 'included.php';

echo $a;
?>

and included.php

<?php
$a=5;
?>

So the error that it is displayed every time is that below :
Parser error (when i am executing the calling_include.php) at the point where i am setting the include_path.
The odd is that this path exists, and the error remains everytime.

What have i done wrong?

include_path='c:[/B]phpdevwww\tests';

Nothing happened, i don't know where is the problem.
Is my php core broken?

jonsof

I am sorry i have made a mistake,
the correct path is that c:\phpdev\www

then my include path would be like that

include_path='c:\phpdev\www';

but i get an error like "Parser error".

i am using windows 98 sec.
Could you help me?

It might be a problem with the slashes. Have you tried swapping the '\' slashes for '/' ones ?

The '\' in PHP tells it to 'escape' the next character.

So maybe the solution is to double up all the '\' slashes.

include_path='c:\phpdev\www';

include_path='c:/phpdev/www'
