URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration -how do I change this?

[poleposters]

Hi ,

 

I'm quite new to PHP.

 

I got this error when I tried to include a URL file for a news feed.

 

include() [function.include]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration

 

 

I'm developing  using XAMPP so I have access to the config files. But I don't know which one or what change.

 

Can anyone help?

If you read the include() page in the php manual, it tells you what setting is needed to use URL's - http://www.php.net/include/

Thanks.

 

My only problem is that I can't find the php.ini file.

 

Its supposed to be in the apache/bin folder but its not. Do you know if it could be somewhere else?

Create a new php file (info.php for instance) and put this in it:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

 

Load it up in a browser and it will tell you which php.ini file it is using
