to stupid to see the mistake - include_path don't work

[mirko]

Hello,

I have a problem with my include_path and I don't know why... Can
anybody see the mistake?

my configuration:

PHP Version 4.3.11

System: Windows NT 5.0 build 2195
Server API: CGI/FastCGI
Virtual Directory Support: enabled
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: C:\WINNT\php.in i
PHP API: 20020918
PHP Extension: 20020429
Thread Safety: enabled
include_path: .;C:\Inetpub\ww wroot

My php script used this:

require("/development/classes/configWeb.php") ;

and the configWeb File location is:
C:\Inetpub\wwwr oot\development \classes\config Web.php

And I geet this error message:
Fatal error: getofficeslist( ): Failed opening required
'\development\c lasses\configWe b.php'
(include_path=' .;C:\Inetpub\ww wroot') in
C:\Inetpub\wwwr oot\development \classes\office s.php on line 45

THANKS !

What your script is actually trying to access, is
"c:\development \classes\config Web.php", which is referenced in the
require() statement above. If you remove the slash from the beginning
of that file reference, you'll see that it works.

The way include_path works, it goes through each of the directories
(seperated by a semicolon) when you use include/require with a relative
path until it finds the file. This is only a side feature, since
include_path is meant to secure which directories a script is allowed
to include files from.

It will in your case look for the included file here (if making the
change I suggested):
..\development\ classes\configW eb.php (from current working directory)
c:\Inetpub\wwwr oot\development \classes\config Web.php

my guess is that this should be like this:
require("develo pment/classes/configWeb.php") ;
