call a function

brauchi

This might be a very stupid question. But I can't figure out where the problem is.

I am calling a function in a script

$status = get_billing_status_access($domain_id);

I have included in this script the function page

require("http://www.mywebsite/dreamaccount/functions.php");

The function I am calling is in that page

// GET BILLING STATUS FOR BILLING PURPOSES
function get_billing_status_bill($domain_id) {
$db = new ps_DB;
$q = "SELECT domain_start_date,domain_host_id,domain_host_periods,domain_host_last_billed FROM domains WHERE domain_id='$domain_id'";
$db->query($q);
while ($db->next_record()) {
$status = get_billing_status_bill_2($db->f("domain_host_id"),$db->f("domain_host_periods"),$db->f("domain_host_last_billed"));
}
return $status;
}

But when I run the script I get the following error message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_billing_status_access() in /home/httpd/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs/dreamaccount/auth.sessions.inc.php on line 69

It seems as if the script doesn't look into the function page. What am I doing wrong? Does anybody know?

Thank you in advance

Probably better suited in the newbies forums

require("http://www.mywebsite/dreamaccount/functions.php");

That is a little questional maybe try this

require("dreamaccount/functions.php");

Also make sure the function name exists in that file.

I think you are onto it planetsim... The call to require("http://www.mywebsite/dreamaccount/functions.php"); returns the functions.php page after it has been parsed by PHP (I believe), so I don't think it will work like that... Anyhow, you know it's finding the page, otherwise you would have received an error to that affect... Follow planetsim's suggestion, and use a server path, rather than a URL, and you should be fine...

If all else fails, you can troubleshoot a bit, by copying the function to the main page, and calling it, to make sure it does, in fact, work... and go from there to moving the function back out to an included file.
