PHP configuration problem

tboneuls

here is my site: http://phptest.ods.org/staff/dbaty/index.php

here is the error i get:
Notice: Undefined variable: page in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\staff\dbaty\index.php on line 43

Warning: main(.html) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\staff\dbaty\index.php on line 43

Warning: main() [function.main]: Failed opening '.shtml' for inclusion (include_path='.;c:\inetpub\wwwroot\staff\dbaty\') in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\staff\dbaty\index.php on line 43

Server:
Windows .NET server 2003 RC2 (IIS 6.0)
PHP 4.3.1

other php commands like echo and includes of a page work, however when i try a command like

<?php include("$page.html"); ?>

it doesn't. I go to index.php?page=header it doesnt include header.html. I believe there is a config problem in my php.ini file. What should my include_path be??? Any help would be appreciated.

phpinfo() will tell you your current include path(s). The problem has more to do with your code probably.

<?php include("$page.html"); ?>

might be better done like so:

<?php 
$page="header.html";
include($page); 
?>

Also, I believe the apache default include path starts with the directory the script is in (the 'current' directory).

im still getting an "Undefined variable page in line xx". Any suggestions?
Also, what should my include_path be?

tboneuls--- Im having the same problem as you. Ive tested my php and I think its working because some commands work, the one that ive noticed doesnt work is the same one u are saying:

<?php include("$page.html"); ?>

Its driving me crazy cuz i cant find any topic directed to this problem!! guess i just gotta keep looking

K, I'm guessing you have register_globals off and therefore the variables being passed via GET aren't working as you'd expect.

instead of $page try $_GET['page']

I'm not 100% sure of the syntax there.

I changed register_gloabls to on, and now it works!!! (well, now i use the command
<?php include('$page'); ?>
and then include the full page w/ extension in the link. Thank you so much!

I tried that and now this is what I get:

Notice: Undefined index: 'page' in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\staff\dbaty\index.php on line 43

Where could I look up the synatax of that command? Thanks.

craigh

what command? Let's see the actual code.
