Includes -- Not sure why this is happening

mrbaseball34

I have my include_path set to:

include_path = ".;c:\php\includes;d:\www\home\crnorth\dbutil"

However, it can't find the files even though the files ARE in the directory:
d:\www\home\crnorth\dbutil

PHP Warning:  include(/home/crnorth/dbutil/mysql.php): failed to open 
 stream: No such file or directory in D:\www\CRBA\schedule.php on line 3

PHP Warning:  include(): Failed opening 
'/home/crnorth/dbutil/mysql.php' for inclusion 
(include_path='.;c:\php\includes;d:\www\home\crnorth\dbutil') in 
D:\www\CRBA\schedule.php on line 3

PHP Warning:  include(/home/crnorth/dbutil/dbconnect.inc): failed to 
open stream: No such file or directory in D:\www\CRBA\schedule.php on 
line 4

PHP Warning:  include(): Failed opening 
'/home/crnorth/dbutil/dbconnect.inc' for inclusion 
(include_path='.;c:\php\includes;d:\www\home\crnorth\dbutil') in 
D:\www\CRBA\schedule.php on line 4

PHP Fatal error:  Class 'dbstuff' not found in D:\www\CRBA\schedule.php 
on line 26

Here is the offending code:

Line 3: include("/home/crnorth/dbutil/mysql.php");
Line 4: include("/home/crnorth/dbutil/dbconnect.inc");
Line 26: $db = new dbstuff;

I also cannot get it to show the errors in the browser even though I have

error_reporting  =  E_ALL 
display_errors = On

You need to escape . i.e. \
else, use / instead.

Also, [font=monospace]/home/crnorth/dbutil/mysql.php[/font] is not the same as [font=monospace]/www/home/cnorth/dbutil/mysql.php[/font].

d:\www is my document root soyes, it would be.

The \ are being used in the PHP.ini, NOT in any code so they do not have to be escaped.

No, because [font=monospace]/home...[/font] is a system file path, and not one that's relative to your document root. This is why it is possible for PHP to include files that lie outside the document root. Unless of course you think [font=monospace]/www/home/cnorth/dbutil/mysql.php[/font] should refer to [font=monospace]/www/www/home/cnorth/dbutil/mysql.php[/font]?
