pnarendran

Hi: I keep getting this error


Warning: include(test/header.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\Hosting\7520570\html\test\Contact Us\contact.php on line 11

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'test/header.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in D:\Hosting\7520570\html\test\Contact Us\contact.php on line 11

and same thing for footer when I use the code below:


<?php







$extrahead = '<script type="text/javascript" src="signup.js.php"></script>';

 include 'test/header.php';


?>

Can someone please help?

What's the full/absolute path to the header.php file? According to PHP, it doesn't exist where you're claiming it should be.

EDIT: In other words, you're telling PHP to include the file:

D:\Hosting\7520570\html\test\Contact Us\test\header.php

which apparently doesn't exist.

Hi: Thanks for the answer, but even if I say just:

<? php include 'header.php' ?>

I get error:


Warning: include(header.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\Hosting\7520570\html\test\ContactUs\contact.php on line 11

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'header.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in D:\Hosting\7520570\html\test\ContactUs\contact.php on line 11

The header.php file is actually in the test folder which is inside the html folder which is basically the root folder. Can you tell me what is wrong?

Thanks

If the script is located at D:\Hosting\7520570\html\test\ContactUs[/b], then a path of 'header.php' means you're telling PHP to open D:\Hosting\7520570\html\test\ContactUs\header.php, which doesn't seem to match your description of where the file actually is.

So, I'd say what is wrong is that either a) the file isn't where you say it is, or b) you aren't telling PHP that the file is where you're saying it is.

the header.php file is inside the test folder inside the html folder. the include 'header.php'; is inside the contactus.php file which follows the path D:\Hosting\7520570\html\test\ContactUs\header.php

so should I say inside contactus.php like this instead?

include '/test/header.php inside the body?

Now you're using an absolute path, meaning that you're telling PHP to include the file located at D:\test\header.php (in other words, the '/' at the beginning of the path means "start from the root of the hard drive").

If you want to use absolute paths, consider using $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] (which is an absolute path that points to the root of your website). Otherwise, just use the correct relative path (meaning if the directory is inside a directory above the one you're at, use the appropriate number of "../" sequences to get to it).
