OT: PHP includes and path woahs

Hi there,

I am getting really confused.

I use the following PHP include:

<? include ("../inc/quotes/common.php"); ?>

but when I upload i get tonnes of errors saying file not found.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

The php include path is often different to the normal document root. Make an
info file called info.php that contains just the following... <?php
phpinfo();?> Upload and run this file to see what the value of PHP Include Path
is. Often it's just one step outside the web root so you may need to go down
another level..... ie. <?php include ('/www/inc/quotes/common.php'); ?> Ross

the include path usually starts with '.' (current directory) so the
script will look for a relative URL first, this should work (if '../inc'
is in your document root):

include ("../inc/quotes/common.php");

if 'inc' is the directory that you have set up as your include path then
your script should look like this:

include ("quotes/common.php");

Hi there,

Thanks for the advice.

I used the info.php and noticed that 'Virtual Directory Support' was
disabled. Is this why I am getting the error?

Thanks

doubt it. can you tell me:

1/ what is the value of include path
2/ what is the value of document root
3/ what is the system path to the file you want to include
4/ what is the error message
