Virtual command not working

[chutney]

Hi there,

I'm really an ASP coder but have been asked to fix someones php site.

I've had a look at their pages and none of the php pages that are using the "virtual()" command are working.

When I replace the command with the include() command they seem to work again.

Can anyone tell me why the virtual may have stopped working (it was working before) and another fix apart from replacing all instances of virtual with include? I'm not really sure what the difference is between them...

Many thanks in advance

Hi, Chutney:

I had to look it up (http://us3.php.net/virtual).

There is a changelog that reads:

[INDENT]This function may be used on PHP files. However, it is typically better to use include() or require() for PHP files.[/INDENT]

Hi Rodney,

Thanks for that. I'll change all the virtual commands to include instead.

Cheers

From the manual

"This function is only supported when PHP is installed as an Apache module."

So probably yours was written for a diferent host configuration which has since been changed.
