Thread: php include

what i'm doing wrong...
just not understand

this

<?php include('http://www.xxxxx.xxx/cgi-bin/news/ex...h/procura.html); ?>

is not equal to

<?php include('/home/xxxxxxx/public_html/cgi-bin/news/exec/search.cgi?search=1&perpage=5&cat=3&template=searc h/procura.html')

I can´t use the first because fopen = false

and the second don't get the data

Can someone help

Best Regards

i want to call a file from the server root and now is this statement i'm calling the file from inside the directory where the file resides.

can someone help me to make the statement include from the root (server root)

Best Regards

Well first you have to use the closing ?> parameter and then you need to remove the /cgi-bin if you want it at the root or move it to the cgi bin/news etc

Karen

<?php
include('/home/username/public_html/cgi-bin/news/exec/search.cgi?search=1&perpage=5&cat=3&template=searc h/procura.html');
?>



Remove the white space at the end: search/procura.html . Add ; at the end before the closing tag.

And the reason that this didn't work was for several reasons

<?php include('http://www.xxxxx.xxx/cgi-bin/news/ex...h/procura.html); ?>


First, you didn't close the end of it with a ', before the );

Secondly, you can't use a full http:// link with a php include. Rather, you need to use a relative link.

If you have say..

www.yoursite.com/index.php
www.yoursite.com/sub_directory/index.php
www.yoursite.com/include_directory/header.php

If on www.yoursite.com/index.php you would use
<? include("include_directory/header.php"); ?>

If on www.yoursite.com/sub_directory/index.php you would use
<? include("../include_directory/header.php"); ?>
