Two codes at the very top conflicting

[Broleta]

Hello, I have encountered a problem with my website. I am trying to use two separate mods/addons for vbulletin to display news from a forum and a login panel respectively. The problem is that both scripts require me to add a code at the "very top" of my website php file. I have tried adding one after the other with no success. I have tried using includes to include the scripts and adding the top codes to them instead but this does not work.

 

The top codes are:

For the news script:

<?php

chdir('./forums');

require_once('./vBExternal.php');

?>

 

For the login panel script:

<?php

$curdir = getcwd ();

chdir('forums');

require_once('forums/global.php');

chdir ($curdir);

?>

Try this...

 

<?php
$curdir = getcwd ();
chdir('./forums');
require_once('./vBExternal.php');
chdir ($curdir);
chdir('forums');
require_once('forums/global.php');
chdir ($curdir);
?>

Try this...

 

<?php
$curdir = getcwd ();
chdir('./forums');
require_once('./vBExternal.php');
chdir ($curdir);
chdir('forums');
require_once('forums/global.php');
chdir ($curdir);
?>

 

This gives me a blank page

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
$curdir = getcwd ();
chdir('./forums');
require_once('./vBExternal.php');
chdir ($curdir);
chdir('forums');
require_once('forums/global.php');
chdir ($curdir);
?>

 

Try this and tell me if any errors are displayed.

Nope no errors still just a blank page.

I recommend you to do somehting like the following when dealing with includes:

define('ROOT', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);

require_once ROOT . '/forums/vBExternal.php';
require_once ROOT . '/forums/globals.php';

 

Seems you are overcomplicating things with chdir.

 

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] returns the absolute path to your sites root. This will tell PHP to include files from the root rather than the current working directory.
