[RESOLVED] Feelz like ima noob: include() grabbing bool instead of string ...

[dalecosp]

This feels like such a noob deal ... banging my head on desk now after a couple hours (which were preceded by about 3 days of JS):

print $incfile. " is the include file <br /><br />";

   if (DEBUG) include "$incfile" or die("cannot include $incfile");
   else require_once($incfile);

Dying with this:

/usr/local/www/data/devel.foo.com/html/new_package/auth/authorize.php is the include file

Warning: include(1): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/www/data/devel.foo.com/html/new_package/index.php on line 112 Call Stack: 0.0019 168832 1. {main}() /usr/local/www/data/devel.foo.com/html/new_package/index.php:0 Warning: include(): Failed opening '1' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/share/pear') in /usr/local/www/data/devel.foo.com/html/new_package/index.php on line 112 Call Stack: 0.0019 168832 1. {main}() /usr/local/www/data/devel.foo.com/html/new_package/index.php:0 Fatal error: Class 'auth' not found in /usr/local/www/data/devel.foo.com/html/new_package/index.php on line 116 Call Stack: 0.0019 168832 1. {main}() /usr/local/www/data/devel.foo.com/html/new_package/index.php:0 

Note:
1. include(1)? Why is this bool?
2. DEBUG is currently TRUE
3. checks with file_exists() and is_readable() have both passed TRUE at this point.

What is this dummy missing? :bemused:

Is the [font=monospace]$incfile[/font]/[font=monospace]$include[/font] difference intentional?

No, human error when redacting.

As DEBUG is set, it's not doing the require_once() anyway. That's a production switch; it will require_once when on the real server.

Any difference if you change it to this?

print $incfile. " is the include file <br /><br />";
if(DEBUG) {
	echo "Yes, we're in debug mode".PHP_EOL;
	include "$incfile" or die("cannot include $incfile");
}
else {
	require_once($incfile);
}

Unfortunately, none, apart from outputting the echo statement. :bemused:

[dalecosp]

To be fair, IF it made any difference, the actual variable name contains an underscore, like "$include_file".

[NogDog]

I wonder if it's due to the fact that include is a construct and not a function. You may need to do something like this for the comparison:

(include "$incfile") or die("cannot include $incfile");

[traq]

It's just PHP doing its associative-thing:

   if (DEBUG){
   // this is what you _really_ wrote
   include ("$incfile" or die("cannot include $incfile") );
   // which, since $incfile is not empty, yields "true", which include casts as "1"
}

Try instead:

if (DEBUG) {
    if( ! @include "$incfile" ){ 
        die("cannot include $incfile"); 
    } 
}

#  OR (closer to your original code)  #
if (DEBUG) (include $incfile) or die( "cannot include $incfile" );

Yes, indeed! Thank you, gents. The boss has left the office, but he'd be happy to know it's working 😉

if(DEBUG) {
    (include($auth_file)) or (die("cannot include $auth_file"));
