problem with include.

[SoulIntruder]

Hello folks.

I have a beginners question.

I have such script:

<?php
$User = $_POST['User'];
$Password = $_POST['Password'];
$Database = $_POST['Database'];

if (isset($User, $Password, $Database))
{
//do something here
}
else {
echo 'One or more of the connection parameters has not been set
up.';
}
?>

Now, I need to use some external functions. I need to include file
'common.php'. But when I do it like this:
<?php
include 'common.php';
$User = $_POST['User'];
$Password = $_POST['Password'];
$Database = $_POST['Database'];

if (isset($User, $Password, $Database))
{
//do something here
}
else {
echo 'One or more of the connection parameters has not been set
up.';
}
?>
nothing happens. I don't get any warning message but my script is not
running.

What is happening?

Thanks for your advice.

What is happening?

What makes you think that the generally working code is interesting but
the included code that causes the problem is not?

What is your error level? Is display_errors activated? Do you have
Access to the error log of the webserver?

I don't see anything going on, which leads me to believe its working
fine. Add error_reporting (E_ALL | E_STRICT) inside common and run a
function inside the IF block that was icluded in common.

I.E.

// common.php
error_reporting (E_ALL | E_STRICT);

function scream_yayyyy( ) { echo "WOOOOOOOOO OT"; }
// main file
require_once 'common.php';
if( user && password && database ) scream_yayyyy() ;

I don't understand.

I don't know.
Is display_errors activated?
I guess so? Since I had (and saw) errors after runnig scripts.
Do you have

Access to the error log of the webserver?

Yes I had. I've checked them out, but I have found nothing.

[Jonas Werres]

I don't understand.
You post code that works. Then you post the same code with an
include-Statement in it. Thats a lot of code which has obviously nothing
to do with your problem, since it works without include and ... well ...
there's not much you can break in an include-Line.
So, just perhaps, it _might_ have to do with the code you included, so
one _could_ think it's worth a try to post it.

>What is your error level?

I don't know.

Erm. Find out?

Yes I had. I've checked them out, but I have found nothing.

Ok? Run again, post it.

[Jonas Werres]

Copy common.php, write
echo 'test';
at the bottom, see if that works.

I think that I might not understand correctly the function which
performs
"include". When I include something it is not only compiled but it is
also runned?
In such case, there might be some statement in the included file that
exits from runned script?

What is your error level?

I don't know.

Erm. Find out?

Ok, but how? I am quite net to PHP and server related tasks..

This error log is empty. But maybe it is not the same error log which
you refer to?

it works, so i I guess, this statement sopts the script:

echo 'test';
if (!defined('IN_P HPBB'))
{
exit;
}

Amongst other things. The whole script depends on the proper values
being set before it is included.

When you use include(), PHP includes the file, just as if you had
manually copied and pasted the contents of the file. This means any
code not in a function will be executed.

In this case you probably won't see an error - it's probably the die()
call which is causing your problems. This is not an error.
