Help with include statement and stuff

[Morrac]

Hello,

 

I am working on a web site that includes a file called lostNFound.inc.php which I need to display a database of lost and found pets.  I have the include statement right and the link is showing up but for some reason I cannot get the right function to work.  The link code is:

 

print "<a href\"".$PHP_SELF."?command=addLostNFoundPet&display=".$display."\" class=\"BBSV2StandardLink\" border=\"0\">Add new Lost N Found Pet</a>";

 

I inherited this site and most of the code is not the way I like to program but I have been do what I can.  Anyway, the PHP_SELF points to the community.php file which doesn't have the addLostNFoundPet function in it (the lostNFound.inc.php file has that function in it) but when I point the link to the lostNFound.inc.php page I get a blank page.  Now I need the form and the database to show (which the addLostNFoundPet function does) but I need it to show on the community.php page.

 

Any idea or do I need to provide more code?

Is the said file included in community.php?

 

as in something in the likes of:

 

include 'lostNFound.inc.php';

 

On the top of the page?

well the include statement goes like this:

 

 

if(!@include("./plugins/lostNFound.inc.php"))

{

        @include("../plugins/lostNFound.inc.php");

}

 

 

This include statement is done inside of another if statement in the community.php file.

any ideas?
