Failed opening ... for inclusion

mahmudhasan

Hi,

I am facing a problem with my scirpts. previously it didn't have problem but suddenly (after i made some changes to a file that is included in another file), the second file (where I include the first one) wouldn't open. It shows -

Failed opening 'some_script.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:some_path') in Unknown on line 0

some_script.php is the script where I included another script and trying to open.

both the scripts resides in same directory and "." is included in the include_path. Why won't it open then?

any help would be very much appreciated.

regards
Mahmud

try just

include 'file.php';

mahmudhasan

do you mean instead of include('file.php') I will just wrote include file.php ?

planetsim

Make sure you have the correct path if its outside the documents directory. Common mistake.

mahmudhasan

All the PHP scripts are in same folder (the ones that have been included) and "." is in the include_path.

tekky

i mean dont use .file just filename

mahmudhasan

do you mean include('abc') instead of include('abc.php')?
I am confused.

I am confused.

you said your files are int he SAME directory as the one including them so you were using "./filename.php"

atleast thats how you made it sound
I am saying

use "filename.php" for the filename not "./filename.php"

mahmudhasan

I used include('filename.php')

tekky

can also try using require(); which will produce a further error, only other thing I could suggest is posting the whole code so we can try it locally on our servers and see if it reproduces the error....

you do have read permissions on the files you are including right?

mahmudhasan

I can try using require
I will send u the code if require doesn't work

mahmudhasan

here are my codes. using require didn't produce any different warning.

hmm scratch that idea... try this...

if (is_readable('filename.php'))
     include('filename.php');

mahmudhasan

I did and gives me same problem. I guess the problem lies somewhere else. It again gives me the following warning -

Failed opening '<some_path>/login.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:<path_1>:<path_2>') in Unknown on line 0

i looked at all the files.. and found that DB.php doesnt exist or wasnt included in your zip.

mahmudhasan

Well that's not the problem. DB.php is a PEAR module and it is in the directory where it is supposed to be (I have other script which works perfectly including DB.php). I didn't include it in the zip file coz I thought that will be in the machine you are using.

planetsim

Well i didnt have the file... so i got this error

Warning: main(DB.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream:

Fatal error: main() [function.main]: Failed opening required 'DB.php' (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in

which as you can see is DB.php. Never assume people have these files.

However i am stumpted. If your recieving a different error.

mahmudhasan

Oh ok. But only DB.php wont' do. I would have to send many others files from PEAR modules as those are needed by DB.php

in my local machine those scripts working properly. only in my main server I have the problem.

planetsim

walla problem solved..

They dont have pear installed.. that would be the reason..

mahmudhasan

PEAR is installed there. I have another script which uses DB and I just ran it and works perfectly.
