Get get include pages to work...

[dpinion]

Greetings,
I have the following:

require_once($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/virtuals/doc-root.php4");

I also have several more include and include once that pull various
sections into my main page. I am trying to get this working on a local
machine for testing purposes. I have (windwos) Apache and PHP set up
on my machine and have written several test pages to confirm things
are working. When I perform an echo of the Document_root and
global_root I get the following:

server doc root: C:/Dewaynewww/TrentonWeb/Apache2/htdocs
global doc root:

Anyone have any ideas why I can't using my include/required documents?

TIA for any help

I'm not sure about / being valid on windoze. If not, use \\ instead
(easape the \), or use single quotes.
It might be a safe mode restriction, or an open_basedir setting keeping
you from succesfully including.

You should check what errors you get:

start your script with:
error_reporting (E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors","1");
and see what errors are displayed.

Thanks. I tried adding in the error scripting, but I don't seem to see
any errors being generated on the page. I will try switching the
slash, but my newbie question is how would that effect it once I have
loaded to a server?

Thanks again

As said, I'm not sure \ isn't allowed on Windows. You may wanna check the
php manual for that. But since you get no errors it seems fine.

If you upload it to a non-windows server you'd always have to use \ afaik.

But, not getting any errors at all with above additions? Hmm, that might
indicate the files are properly required/included after all.
Can you show a relevant snippet of your working code?
If you echo a string following the require, does that display properly?

I tried the echo (you will see it in the code below) but it did not
display on the screen. I am really new to PHP, so there is a good
possibility I am doing something wrong...

<?
$updated = "4/3/07";
//$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] = str_replace( $_SERVER["PATH_INFO"],

//"", ereg_replace( "[\][\]", "/", $_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"] )

//)."/";

require_once("virtuals/doc-root.php4");
echo "test";

?>
<html>
<head>
<?

include_once($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/virtuals/header-
script.php4");

?>

<?

include_once($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."/virtuals/header-home.php4");

?>

I will check the docs to see if windows will support both slashes

Forward slash ( / ) works perfectly on WIndows systems and it is the one
you must use in your 'include' and 'require' statements.

If you're just starting with php, I'd suggest you get one of
pre-packaged windows installations (e.g.
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html) and let it setup everything
for you.

Schraalhans,

'/' is perfectly good in windows. Perhaps its' the spaces in your paths?

"/" is working fine in windows. please send the code and before check
that there is any spaces in between /s

'/' has been a valid file separator since DOS 2.x IIRC. Certain DOS and
Windows *programs* don't recognise it, but the OS kernel itself does.

(Annoyingly COMMAND.COM is/was one of those programs that didn't recognise
it!)
