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.ini
PHP API: 20020918
PHP Extension: 20020429
Thread Safety: enabled
include_path: .;C:\Inetpub\wwwroot

My php script used this:

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

and the configWeb File location is:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\development\classes\configWeb.p hp

And I geet this error message:
Fatal error: getofficeslist(): Failed opening required
'\development\classes\configWeb.php'
(include_path='.;C:\Inetpub\wwwroot') in
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\development\classes\offices.php on line 45

THANKS !

What your script is actually trying to access, is
"c:\development\classes\configWeb.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\configWeb.php (from current working directory)
c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\development\classes\configWeb.p hp

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