wrong include path

[Shawazi]

Okay i have two lines
include('clientbegin.php");
include("nav.php");

both are in the same folder yet nav.php has the following error:

Warning: main(1): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in c:\program files\easyphp1-7\www\shame\client_pages\home.php on line 5

Warning: main(): Failed opening '1' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\Program Files\EasyPHP1-7\php\pear\') in c:\program files\easyphp1-7\www\shame\client_pages\home.php on line 5

It says the include path is under that php\pear\ when it shuold www\shame\client_pages

what can be wrong here?

think it's a typo - have a look at your quote marks on the first line - you have include('clientbegin.php");

change them both to "

the thing about the path saying one thing when you think it is another - the path given in the error is

.;C:\Program Files\EasyPHP1-7\php\pear\') in c:\program files\easyphp1-7\www\shame\client_pages\home.php

the very first dot means 'the current working directory' - the semi colon is a list delimiter in the path variable

clientbegin.nav was just a typo in the forum - not on my code i did have two double quotes. You lost me a little on the second half though. Does that mean it's pointing at the right spot or no? Because both files are inthe same location and I do have the syntax right on the page

include("clientbegin.php");
include("nav.php");

ok sorry

when the path is set to

.;C:\Program Files\EasyPHP1-7\php\pear\

what it means, is that it will look in

. (ie the directory the current script is in)
and
C:\Program Files\EasyPHP1-7\php\pear\

so it should find all files in these directories with no problem

so you have no idea what the problem could be either? this is so weird I mean include is the first command i ever learned!

[Shawazi]

for some reason - even though two other includes worked on that page - on nav .php i needed to use this command

require_once("nav.php");

there be the solution
