[Resolved] Converting from Linux to Windows

racing_fire

Update: I figured it out, I need to use forward slashes in the path.

Hey,

I just switched off Linux about a month ago, and I saved a website I was working on.

Well, now I installed Apache, PHP, and mySQL. So I'm putting my site on Windows (XP Home).

I have news, and the site itself. On the header function I have a spot where the news headlines file is included.

<?
(other code)

function showHeader($title) {
?>
(other code)
          <td width="167" height="100" valign="middle" nowrap class="table-newarticlesbar">
            <img src="/images/siteHeader/new_articles_logo.gif" alt="New Articles" width="167">
<?
	include("C:\\Program Files\\Apache Group\\Apache2\\htdocs\\news\\headlines.php");
?>  

          </td>
(other code)
<?
}

(other code)
?>

Every time the function is called, PHP raises an error about the include function on the page that called the header function.

Warning: showheader(C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs
ews\headlines.php): failed to open stream: Invalid argument in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\includes\php\layout.inc.php on line 87

Fatal error: showheader(): Failed opening required 'C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs
ews\headlines.php' (include_path='.;C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\includes\php') in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\includes\php\layout.inc.php on line 87

About these errors, the path to my headlines file is "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\news\headlines.php". PHP points out "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\ewsheadlines.php". 😕

I hope someone can help. 🙂

I don't use PHP on Windows, but I wouldn't be surprised if you need to do your path like this:

C:\Whatever\Whatever\lalala.php

Since \ by itself is an escape character.
