Warning: Division by zero in /var/www/html/midterm/midterm/updateform.php on line 3

Warning: include(html) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/midterm/midterm/updateform.php on line 3

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'html' for inclusion (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php/lib/php') in /var/www/html/midterm/midterm/updateform.php on line 3

require_once ('mysql_connect.php'); 
include (includes/header2.html);

This is something I have been working on for a couple days also, but still can't figure out why I get the warning messages just because I want to insert a header and a footer.

read, then resolve the errors.

Warning: Division by zero in /var/www/html/midterm/midterm/updateform.php on line 3

Can't divid by 0 - find the value and solve the problem.

No such file or directory in ...

the file isn't there, or if it is your path is wrong. find the file and write the proper string.

your include value should be in quotes.

dagon

missing quotes on the include

crazyconnie

Okay, I put the quotes in and the divide by zero warning disappeared. I am still getting the other warnings. I am not sure what you mean when you say divide by zero.

also, the script for the header is in the same folder as the pages for the other scripts. That is why I get confused about the path. Shouldn't the path be the same only be called header2.html

bradgrafelman

The reason you got a divide by zero message is that [man]include/man expects a string as a parameters. A [man]string[/man] in PHP must be enclosed in either single or double quotes.

As for the "other warnings," could you paste your new code and also the warnings you're getting, just so we're clear?

Lastly, yes, a relative path for another file in the same directory would be just the file's name.

crazyconnie

I messed up. It is not resolved.

Warning: include(includes/header2.html) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/midterm/midterm/updateform.php on line 3

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'includes/header2.html' for inclusion (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php/lib/php') in /var/www/html/midterm/midterm/updateform.php on line 3

<?
require_once ('mysql_connect.php'); 
include('includes/header2.html');

bradgrafelman

Well, the error message clearly states what the problem is. So, are you positive that 'includes/header2.html' is the correct path?

crazyconnie

What could I show you that shows the path? The link?

bradgrafelman

You don't necessarily need to show me anything - you can verify it for yourself. Is the "header2.html" file located inside a directory called "includes," and is this "includes" directory in the same folder that the "updateform.php" is (namely /var/www/html/midterm/midterm/)?

crazyconnie

That took care of the problem. thanks much.
