[RESOLVED] Can't find include file

[NoBullMan]

Hi,
I have an "include_once" statement on top of my php file but when I run it I get the error message:

Warning: main(../db_fns.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in
/home2/www/domainname/demo/shopping/rules/gen_rules.php on line 2

Warning: main(): Failed opening '../db_fns.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home2/www/domainname/demo/shopping/rules/gen_rules.php on line 2

In "gen_rules.php" I have:
<?php
include_once('../db_fns.php');
session_start();
ob_start();
....
?>

The file "db_fns.php" is the "shopping" folder.

TIA

If its in your shopping directory, you need to cycle back 2 directories, not 1.

So instead of

 include_once('../db_fns.php');

which only takes you to the rules directory, you need

 include_once('../../db_fns.php');

Thanks for the reply.
The file that is generating the error is in "rules" directory which is one above the "shopping" directory.

<shopping>
db_fns.php
[INDENT]<rules>[/INDENT]
[INDENT]gen_rules.php <--- This file is generating error. It does not like referring to ../db_fns.php[/INDENT]
