Include not working

code_guz

Hello i'm having a problem with this code

<?
     			if($g4)
     			{
           			$g4 = basename($g4);
           			$g4 .= ".php";

       			if (is_file("./$g4"))
       			{
              			include($g4);
       			}
       			else
       			{
              			echo "The file you are looking for: index.php?g4=$g4 is missing.";
       			}
 			}
 			else
 			{
       			include("main.php");
 			}
?>

The includes aren't working, doesn't seem to find the files :/.

How can we see what's wrong? Please provide more info on what you're trying to do...

code_guz

I made the code in order to be able to change the sites template easy.

The code is designed to find a file in the current directory and include it into the main content area. For some reason it does not work on my shell host, however it does work on my intranet server.

Here's the link to where it doesn't work, Code

Try: include("$g4"); for instance (don't know if it works...)

Topic is closed, so does it mean that this solved your problem?

code_guz

Who said the topic was closed ?

And no that's not the problem, the " isn't necessary. The code works, just not on that server :/.

Do you think you could be a bit more obtuse, Code-Guz?

What's the error message? Which include doesn't work? It's probably because you haven't got the file in the same folder, but rather somewhere else. That would be the obvious answer, but we can't tell because you won't tell us anything.

code_guz

yea sorry I haven't been giving good info.

Well the file is in the same directory and the include that doesn't work is the

if(is_file("./$g4")
{
        include($g4);
}

it works fine on other hosts. Could it be the way they have PHP configured ?

tomkleijkers

This isn't any more info...

First you forgot one ')' but that's a parse error:

if(is_file("./$g4")
{
include($g4);
}
should be
if(is_file("./$g4"))
{
include($g4);
}
ofcourse.

But why the include doesn't work i cannot see from here. Maybe you'll have to specify the path in the include: include("./$g4") but i cannot think of any reason for that. I obvious don't see any fault in the things you show me, so there must be an error somewhere else in your code. What's the actual error message??

code_guz

if(is_file("./$g4")
{
include($g4);
}
should be
if(is_file("./$g4"))
{
include($g4);
}
ofcourse.

If you check my original message that's exactly how I have it 😉.

And did you go to the site I said and posted ? I get no error, I get nothing.

Site here

code_guz

Maybe I should post a working example on a different host ?

tomkleijkers

We cannot see the code on your host.... So what does it matter?

code_guz

I found out the problem. It is a configuration problem. Another host had the same problem and fixed it. Some kind of security crap. Thnx anyways.

tomkleijkers

Ok,

good luck with your site!

Truti

Hmm was the prob. not just that you are coding to an older php version there don support global variabels....?

(maybe it me there is talking crap!)

Thanks tomkleijkers ! 🙂
