PHP Include

doreg28

I have a minor problem with the include feature.

Here are 2 urls:
www.oasis.ws/header.php
www.oasis.ws/articles/help.php

Here's what's in header.php
<?php
include("title.txt");
echo "Welcome to my site!"
?>

I want to include header.php in help.php. I know I can include the header.php doing this:

<?php
include("../header.php");
?>

but when I that, it says:

Warning: Failed opening 'title.txt' for inclusion (include_path='') in ../header.php

Can anyone help please!
Thank you for your time,
Ye Tan

Show us what's in the include file. I assume you know that you have to begin and end include files with the <?php ?> tags, otherwise the content will be shown as HTML. But perhaps this is not the problem. I suggest you post the content of header.php

I don't really think what's in In header.php is important... its just a whole load of html

another problem:

say I have this
www.oasis.ws/articles/main.php

IN main.php:

<?php
include("http://www.oasis.ws/index.php");
?>

It wont let me include. Again it sad
Warning: Failed opening 'http://www.oasis.ws/index.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in main.php

I'm sure index.php has no erros in it... I just don't get it..
why... why!.... WHY !!

Can you give a URL as an include path? I suspect not. PHP is looking for a local file. If the file is not in the same folder as the PHP file which contains the include() statement, then you have to give a full path, unless you specify your include path in the php.ini file, e.g. include_path = 'c:\phpweb\includes'

The error statement would indicate that PHP is looking for an include path an not finding one.

Hope this helps

rename your includes as e.g. "header.inc"

the in the webpage where you would like it to appear put:

<?php include("header.inc"); ?>

hope this solves it!

renaming the include file to filename.inc isnt likely to help.

the problem lies with the include path, but we dont have enough information to figure out what's wrong.
