Problem with include

Hi,

When I try to use include with relative path, I've got the error:


Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '..\includes\db.php'
(include_path='.:/home/lib') in
/home/users/peter/public_html/events/users/logon.php on line 13

But during testing the same code on localhost I had no problems. Where
is the problem and how to solve it? Do I have to define include_path?

Thanks

Peter

It seems to me, that you've used backslashes in your path? To include files
on Linux you'll have to use slashes like
'/home/users/peter/puplic_html/includes/db.php' or something that way...

You are perfectly right! I have noticed it today morning - sometimes
when solution is very simple you can't see it. This was my case - I
dug too deep. Thank you for help

Hi

Also thanks from me. I had the same problem too.
It appears to me that not only the relative path but the whole directory
path at your service provider is necessary.

I don't think so Keltex.
Relative includes works perfectly fine for me.
Both at my provider or at my developmentmachine.
Both on W$ and on Linux.

But if your includes work now: great.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

But I prefer relative paths wherever possible.
Makes it so much easier to move stuff around.

re: Problem with include

Not sure this is you problem - but I've had the same type of problem.
You said ".. on localhost" - so I assume that you're then ftp'ing
the code to a hosting machine. Depending on the set up there you're
going to have to do: include ("/host14/vm7/abc123/home/users/peter...");
because the "real" path to you file is not you think it is.
