I have been trying to figure this out for hours but I can't see what the problem is:

PHP Code:


			

Warning:  include() [function.include]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in D:\AppServ\www\Symbian-Made-Simple\index.php on line 2

Warning:  include(http://localhost/symbian-made-simple/includes/head.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in D:\AppServ\www\Symbian-Made-Simple\index.php on line 2

</b>

What is the problem, here is my include code

PHP Code:


			
<?php 
include("http://localhost/symbian-made-simple/includes/head.php"); 
include("http://localhost/symbian-made-simple/includes/body.php"); 
$Content="Testing....";
$subTitle=" :: Latesta News"; 
?>

Even when I leave it to only includes/head.php It works but does not actually output any of the data contained in the head.php file.

Thanks in advance

Forgot to mention, the only for the files to work is to put them in the
root directory.

Assuming all your information is correct, change this:

Quote:

include("http://localhost/symbian-made-simple/includes/body.php");

to:
include("includes/body.php");

This will load the file body.php from the directory includes. Includes must be a directory under the current working directory where the file is called.

As cobylt said.

PHP can do include over http, but this function has to be specifically enabled to be working.

As much as possible, try to always use local file includes rather than http includes.
First: you know where the file is, and it's harder to hijack a file on the server than to forge the request path to another path.
Second: an http include is slower than a local file due to the network connection latency. On low to middle activity sites, it won't be noticed, but if your traffic goes up, it can slow down your site.

And just for the sack of it, try to make the include via absolute paths, using $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] as reference.

PHP Code:


			
include("includes/body.php");

might be valid in 1 place of your site, but not every, as it looks for an include directory from the current place

PHP Code:


			
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/includes/body.php");

This specify that the included file is located in the includes directory from the root of your site, and it will work from any subdirectories.

I tried this way but still got an error

PHP Code:


			
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/includes/body.php");

PHP Code:


			
Warning:  include(D:/AppServ/www/includes/body.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\AppServ\www\Symbian-Made-Simple\index.php on line 2

Warning:  include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'D:/AppServ/www/includes/body.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in D:\AppServ\www\Symbian-Made-Simple\index.php on line 2

And when I tried this way the index page did not output anything, only a blank page. Here is my index.php code

Code:

<?php 
include("includes/body.php");   
$Content="Welcome to Symbian-Made-Simple";
$subTitle=":: Main Page"; 
?>

And my body code:

Code:

<body> <?PHP echo "$Content"; ?> </body> </html>

PHP Code:


			
include(dirname(__FILE__)."/symbian-made-simple/includes/body.php");

This works for my includes and requires on my web server.

**Rajaie** · 01-10-2008, 02:19 AM

nope, I'm still getting empty page

**ecuffo** · 01-10-2008, 02:26 AM

**Rajaie** · 01-10-2008, 02:40 AM

**maxxximus** · 01-10-2008, 03:00 AM

Can you open your body.php page wiith this line.

PHP Code:


			
 <?php echo $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] ?>

**Rajaie** · 01-10-2008, 03:09 AM

i don't understand what you mean by "open body.php with this line" ??

**maxxximus** · 04:14 AM

Open the body.php script in your editor , paste the line above at the top of script and then open the script body.php in your browser.

Edited to add - paste path thats returned

**Rajaie** · 01-10-2008, 03:47 AM

**Rajaie** · 01-10-2008, 06:12 AM

never mind, it seems to suddenly started working
thanx for the help guys

**carloncho** · 01-21-2008, 09:14 PM

The error is that using an url in an include function. You must give this function, a path to the file.
