hosting services

Anon

Hi all,

I am looking for a good low cost hosting service to put up a shared development area where multilpe teams can work on code from different countries. It must be *nix based, PHP 4, and run Oracle 8i.

This will not be a published site used for anything but testing and shared code. So licensing of Oracle should not be ab issue. If any of you have reccomendations or ideas please let me know

Thanks in advance

I just found this website:
http://www.freehostingweb.com/new_features.html
49 dollar set up fee and no monthly fee...
I don't use them (yet) though...

I recently subscribed for www.ucvhost.com, I don't know if they have what you need but I know they are the cheapest I have found around (6 months minimum commitment but plans starting at $1 only per month)...

Since I am here writing I might as well ask you a question if you don't mind (this should be piece of cake for pro like you, I am a php beginner)...

I am trying to include an *.inc file that is in a parent directory of where my .php3 file is. Basically let's say I have an INC in the room and then in the root I have a subfolder and inside the subfolder I have the .php3 file that recalls the INC from the root with the INCLUDE function.
I tried
<? include('../head.inc'); ?>
but to my surprise it does not work! Can you please help me?

Thanks Marcnyc.

I am by no means a pro. but you might want to try including the full path with the include.

For example typically use require instead of include and it would look something like this.

require "/opt/local/apache/sitename/fielname.php"

So yours would probaly look something like
require "/usr/local/bin/apache/root/head.inc"

You can use the $SCRIPT_FILENAME to get the path the current script is in and figure out the require path.

$path = $SCRIPT_FILENAME
echo "<BR> $path";

Make sure to check http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.variables.predefined.php for some other helpful stuff.

I tried putting:

$path = $SCRIPT_FILENAME
echo "<BR> $path";

in my file but I got no output.

Because the following is the error I get:

Warning: Unable to access ../head.inc in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/chaindlk.net/httpdocs/prova/chaindlk.php3 on line 11

Warning: Failed opening '../head.inc' for inclusion (include_path='.:') in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/chaindlk.net/httpdocs/prova/chaindlk.php3 on line 11

I assume that I will have to the full path like this:
/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/chaindlk.net/httpdocs/prova/

but if this is true I have to ask: is there no way to have a relative url instead of an absolute url?
I mean if including an INC file in a subfolder works like this:

<? include('subfolder/head.inc'); ?>

then why would including an INC file in the root folder of a subfolder NOT work when it is like this:
<? include('../head.inc'); ?>

Does this mean that if I switch no another server I will have to go through all the PHP3 files and change the path to all the INC files??? I would like to keep it relative paths so if I switch to another server I have to make as little changes as possible, you know what I mean?
