Function Require

[magaly]

when using require function, php is unuable to open the required file :
for instance if I put require 'file_name.php'; in the up part of a php file, php says :

Fatal error:Failed opening required 'file_namephp' (include_path='.:/test').....'

I've got the following directive in my php.ini: include path .:/test
(My PC is rebooted after each modification of php.ini in oder the file to be read when httpd daemon started).

the '/test' directory and all its files are rwx for everyone.

worthless to say that if I write the required file directly in my php script so without using the require function it works nice.

So why this Fatal error ?

THANKS IN ADVANCE:rolleyes:

try this:

assume you are in Linux environment,

include_path = .:/tmp:/usr/local/lib/php;

restart your apache, instead of reboot your pc. Check whether there is another error when start up. and you can check the apache error file at apache/logs

hope it help!

thanks very much for your answer;

I 've tried what you say : in php.ini, include_path.:/tmp:/usr/local/lib/php after a mkdir php (in the /usr/local/lib directory) with the right user permissions (is 'chmod -R o+rwx /usr' sufficient I know it can be risky in a LAN or multi-user environnement ?) ;

but it doesn't work (after an apachectl graceful (or restart) php says :
Fatal error:Failed opening required ...

so (desesperatly, I 've done 'locate /lib/php' and the result is /usr/lib/php4
so in my php.ini, include_path .:/tmp:/usr/lib/php4 (I've given the right permissions to the directory and files.apachectl graceful...and php says the same.

so I've tried in my php.ini, include_path .:/usr/lib/php4, given the right permissions, apachectl restart, ... php says the same

so I've given up ...😕
