Question Regarding Includes

[tgh]

Hello Everyone,

I've got an include written inside a directory, such as:

mysite.com/folder/include.php

It works fine within this directory and is pulling the right content.

However, I want to have the include on my home page located outside of this folder and have this code within my home page:

<?php include('http://www.mysite.com/folder/include.php'); ?>

But when the home page tries to pull the include I'm getting all sorts of errors. I've tried making all my files an absolute path instead of just a file name and no luck.

Even with an absolute path, my include file still continues to work within the folder but when I try to pull it outside of the folder, errors, such as:

Warning: __preparetemplate(config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxx/public_html/folder/library/file.php on line 145

Warning: __preparetemplate(): Failed opening 'config.php' for inclusion (include_path='/home/xxx/public_html/folder') in /home/xxx/public_html/folder/library/file.php on line 145

Any ideas? I assume this is because my include is in a folder, outside my index page. I tried putting my index file inside this folder and it worked.

You probably have the wrong filepaths for the file. What do your absolute paths look like? What about your relative paths?

And, for the record, you should ALMOST NEVER include() or require() something over HTTP.

You may not have PHP "URL fopen wrappers" enabled at your site.

Check it with phpinfo () ;
