Unexpected T_Include whem using a variable.

[MadnessRed]

OK, I have to directories, Uni1 and Uni2, I want any changes I make in uni1 to also be made in uni 2.

 

So I have I file called index.php in the root of uni1, in uni2, in the root I have a file called index.php with this code.

 

<?php
//First lets find out what file this is
$file = $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"];
$parts = Explode('/', $file);
$file = $parts[count($parts) - 1];

//Now lets list the possible file paths
$root = "../uni1/";
$admin = "../../uni1/admin/";
$converter = "../../uni1/converter/";
$css = "../../uni1/css/";
$db = "../../uni1/db/";
$images = "../../uni1/images/";
$includes = "../../uni1/includes/";
$functions = "../../../uni1/includes/functions/";
$includes = "../../uni1/install/";
$languagefr = "../../../uni1/language/fr/";
$scripts = "../../uni1/scripts/";
$OpenGame = "../../../uni1/templates/OpenGame/";

//Now lets decide the path (This is the only bit that needs editing)
$path = $root;

//Now lets create the entire path
$show = $path . $file

//And finally lets display the file
include '$show';
?> 

 

however when I run it I get this error

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_INCLUDE in /home/www/uogame.co.cc/uni2/test.php on line 28

 

Line 28 is...

 

include '$show';

 

If anyone can help I would be grateful. From what I can work out my self, the problem is that it doesn't like including a variable.

for your error:

$show = $path . $file

need a ; after $file

 

also,

include '$show';

 

single quotes will interpret $show literally you need to use double quotes " " for it to interpret it as a var

wow, thansk for the quick responce

 

Thats fixed it

 

The 's where there because before it had brackets and i just changed them, I didn't think there was a difference between ' and "

everything inside a single quote ' ' is interpreted literally.  Variables and escape chars like \n for new line will echo out like you meant to write the name, not the value or instruction behind it.  A common use for this is say...giving code examples. 

 

everything in a double quote " " is interpreted figuratively.  PHP will recognize that when you put $blah you mean to put the value of $blah not the name of the variable.  Or if you do like \n PHP knows that you mean to make a new line.

ok its worked when i tested it with jsut an echo, but when i tried it and put it into allt eh files I got this

 

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3840 bytes) in /home/www/uogame.co.cc/uni2/common.php on line 28

 

Dunno if its related but the mysql database is limited to 16mb

I have used

 

<?php
ini_set("memory_limit","20M");

 

that displayed the same error, on taking it to 30 i got an error 500
