Help With Include Function on PHP 5

hawaiibeemer

Hi all,

It worked on php4, but not php5. Any thought?

I have config.php and index.php

config.php

$banner="sample.php"

index.php

include("$banner");

The result is empty. In php4, the result is sample.php.

Please advise....Thank you in advance.

because you need to include the file name, not the variable. IT should be:

<?php
include('config.php');
include($banner);
?>

Thanks Brett for a quick response. I still can't get it to work for some reasons.

I did exactly on the sample you gave me. The result is none.

As mentioned, it worked in php4 but not php5. Is it something with php.ini you think?

Thanks,

There is no difference in the include() functions between 4 and 5. You must be doing something differently or have your file structure setup in a different manor.
