How about giving us the contents of the functions.inc.php file. Or at least lines 216 through 218.

hollib

Thank you for replying so quickly.
Im new to this and it is very frustrating
here it is

: if ($GET[CO] || $POST[userform])
if (!@include scripts_dir.'includes/process_user_form.inc.php') include '../includes/process_user_form.inc.php';

thanks again

Ok, a few things:

What's with the colon at the beginning of the line
Use the following syntax for the if statement:

if(condition)
{
action
}

if(condition):
action
endif;

When using pre-defined variables, encapsulate the variable name within ' '

See below for an example of how I think it should look:

if($_GET['CO'] || $_POST['userform'])
{ 
if(!@include scripts_dir.'includes/process_user_form.inc.php')
{
include ('../includes/process_user_form.inc.php');
}
}

Hope this helps (and works)

is scripts_dir a variable??

if it is put a $ in front of it....

<?php
if($_GET['CO'] || $_POST['userform']) 
{  

     if(!@include ($scripts_dir.'includes/process_user_form.inc.php')) 
     { 
          include ('../includes/process_user_form.inc.php') or die ('Could not include the form'); 
     } 
}

?>

I tried and it still comes up as an error. By the way thank you for your help.....

hollib

would you like to look at the script in its entierty?

mtimdog

yes...
btw, it's spitting out the error because it cannot find the file you wish to include....did you put in the 'or die(...)' that I previously typed up?? Another way around would be to put an @ in front of the second include....and then the rest of your script will run.

Where is the included file in relation to the calling script??
Are you sure that the included file is uploaded to your server?

hollib

It is too long for me to post can i email it to you?

mtimdog

If it is too long, attach a file.
