[PHP Includes] Simple - but confused?

Conrad11 · 22 Jan 2006 at 12:41

Hi there,

I am stuck on using an Include in PHP. I have tried:

Basic Include:

Code:

<?php
include 'includes/theader.inc';
include 'tutorials.inc';
include 'includes/tfooter.inc';
?>

Http Include:

Code:

<?php
include 'http://www.bf2tricks.ubersol.co.uk/verynew/includes/theader.inc';
include 'http://www.bf2tricks.ubersol.co.uk/verynew/tutorials.inc';
include 'http://www.bf2tricks.ubersol.co.uk/verynew/includes/tfooter.inc';
?>

The three files are:

theader.inc (In an includes folder)
tfooter.inc (In an includes folder)
tutorials.php (In the same folder)

I am trying to include them all together to make my page and I get nothing: Click Here. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks...

[Edit]

As there is no index page as of yet, you can view my file structure: Click Here

Hi there,

Thanks for the response. Yes I believe that all the paths are correct. You can check yourself by looking at my file structure: Click Here

I have added the error reporting, but nothing happens either, unless I have to look in a specific area for a log of errors? (Never used error reporting before)

Thanks...

Hi there,

Thanks for reply.

Nope, no exit() or die(), all the PHP is shown there, there is no PHP in included files either.

Thanks...

Seeing as www.ubersol.co.uk doesn't even work I wouldn't hold out much hope of, well, anything working.

Hmm,

. I can access my cPanel OK.

What's the code for the PHP files?

Sorry I don't understand what you mean by this? All the PHP that is in the "site" is shown there.

Thanks...

In Source Code: PHP Info

Source Code Of file I created: Click Here For Source

[edit]

Just looked at my error log in cPanel and there are 100s of "PHP Warnings"......

Hi there,

Sorry to drag up an old topic, but my I ask why the require function is better than include?

or is this the only advantage:

php.net said:
require() and include() are identical in every way except how they handle failure. include() produces a Warning while require() results in a Fatal Error. In other words, don't hesitate to use require() if you want a missing file to halt processing of the page. include() does not behave this way, the script will continue regardless. Be sure to have an appropriate include_path setting as well.

Thanks...
