Include Problem

[JoeBrewer]

Hi all,

I have a strange problem..... I have the following code at the top of one of my files:

include_once( 'db_fns.php' );
include_once( 'date_fns.php' );
include_once( 'misc_fns.php' );
include_once( 'photo_fns.php' );
include_once( 'distance_fns.php' );

This code works fine on my home machine (i.e. all files are included). However, when I upload it to my host the date_fns.php file doesnt get included. I added an echo statement at the top of the date_fns.php file and it displays the text when I view the file directly, but not when I call the file that contains the code above. Changing the order of the includes makes no difference...

Please help!! I'm banging my head against a brick wall, and its really begining to hurt now 😕

Thanks,
Joe

Is it just the one file that doesn't get included? If so, might be permissions. If none of the files are getting included, it could be permissions or a bad include_dir directive. You should change those to require_once to get some error feedback from the directive. If it fails to require, it will stop the script and shoot back a "file does not exist", "you do not have permission", or some type of error.

Thanks for replying...

Yes, it is only the one file that isnt being included.

I have changed include_once to require_once, but I dont get any error feedback. The only error I get is a "Call to undefined function" because I am calling a function which is in date_fns.php

I have checked the files permissions and they are the same for all files.

are you sure you uploaded the most recent version of date_fns.php?

[JoeBrewer]

Yes, I put in some echo statements in the file to make sure that I was uploading the correct version.

hmmm, don't know what the problem could be, did you try creating another file that just includes date_fns.php and see if that one works?
