functions not working when calling from secure page

cesarcesar

hello.

basically i have a php page that has an include() in it. in this include starts my session variables and requires() a few other pages. under an unsecure page (http) all works fine.

When securing the page (https) i get errors like "Warning: main(): stream does not support seeking in /www/......" I have learned that this is a bug in PHP and to remove this error just make my include like @include().

Error goes away, great. All files load properly, great. But when I call to a function within one of the required pages the functions come back "Fatal error: Call to undefined function:". this is not so great.

I have ran echo""; tests within the required pages and they all work correctly, just not the functions.

I really need these functions to work can anyone help.

how are you coding the paths in your include statements, with absolute or relative path? post some code of your includes.

cesarcesar

@include("http://www.mysite.com/application.php");

is being called from the secure page. which is

https://secure00.secure-transact.net/~liias/shopping_cart/checkout/payment.php.

whithin the application.php page are calling a functions page like-

require("$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']/standards/functions.php");

Like i said he page is loading corretly just cant get the functions within functions.php to work.

Thanks

That's because your @include() is requesting application.php from the web server on www.mysite.com, which is running it and sending back the result to secure0....net. You're not getting the PHP source code (and it would be Very Bad if you did).

Assuming the two servers are actually different machines, why not copy the relevant function libraries over to the secure server and include them with an ordinary file path instead of using a URL?

What is it with this "mysite.com" business? Surely everyone knows the standard generic domain is "example.com"?

thanks weedpacket,

a few years ago you solved my problems when i neeed them and your here for me again. you truly are my hero. adn plus i love the first part of your name!.

anyways thanks for the reply it sounds correct. I am new to the whole secure server thing. I did not set up the secure link just provided the php. as far as i know everything is on my server, just the url's i add the https://secure00.... in front of re-route through the secure server. I dont think they files are actuually held on the secure server. I know i did not give any specific link that needed to be secure, I was just told to add the secure portion before my link.

So would you have any furthur advice on how to get this working? i would be happy to show more code and get you more information if required.

Im also on MSN messenger as tickers99@hotmail.com if a quick chat would help me.

thanks for you help.
