jacobjmorris Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 My php include is not working:<?php include('/components/include/banner.php'); ?>This is the error message I get:Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/components/includes/banner.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/gayeecom/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/gayeecom/public_html/about/index.php on line 26However, if I were to move banner.php within the same folder as the file I'm trying to include it, then it works fine. So, I'm guessing this has something to do with how I'm constructing the file path?Jacob Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/11548-php-include-not-working/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your script file is located in /home/gayeecom/scripts/script.php and you want to include a file in /home/gayeecom/scripts/components/include/banner.php you have to either use the full path or components/include/banner.php (notice the lack of / at the beginning). Basically what I'm saying is never start the filepath with / unless you're going to use the full filepath.

jacobjmorris Posted June 9, 2006 Author Share Posted June 9, 2006 Hey RobThanks for the tip! I did get it to work using:<?php include('http://www.website.com/components/includes/banner.php'); ?>However, I should be able to make this path relative, so when I try:/components/includes/banner.phpor ../components/includes.banner.phpit doesn't work, any ideas?just figured out how to do it, have to start at the base directory on the server, i got it workingthanks guys for your input! it was really helpful Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/11548-php-include-not-working/#findComment-43507 Share on other sites More sharing options...
