[SOLVED] Function help

[adam291086]

i have a function that stores all my ftp username and passwords like

 

<?php
function getSettings() 

{
        // ftp variables
        $settings['ftpServer'] = 'la';
        $settings['ftpUsername'] = 'la';
        $settings['ftpPassword'] = 'dream on';
        return $settings;
}

?>

 

i want to be able to get these details within another script i have tried

 

include('http://www.rubberduckiee.co.uk/code/ftp_details.php');
$settings = getSettings();

$ftpServer = $settings['ftpServer'];
$ftpUser = $settings['ftpUsername'];
$ftpPass = $settings['ftpPassword'];

$c = @ftp_connect($ftpServer);
$l = @ftp_login($c, $ftpUser, $ftpPass);

if(!$c)
die("A connection to $ftpServer couldn't be established");
else if(!$l)
die("Your login credentials were rejected");
else
return $c;

 

but all i get is the error message saying undefined function getsettings() on line 18

Do not use http urls in include functions, php includes must be local to the server to be parsed.

 

If that does not work:Have you tried a snippet test?

 

Make a file test_inc.php and put JUST the getsettings function in it, then make a test.php and only put the include and function call and see if it errors. I believe you have overlooked a scope change or something, we may need more code as this should work flawlessly.

i have just done this to the function i am calling upon

 

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
function account() 

{
        // ftp variables
        $settings['ftpServer'] = 'la';
        $settings['ftpUsername'] = 'sadfs';
        $settings['ftpPassword'] = 'Cdsfdsffsdfsdfsdf';
        return $settings;


}

$setting = account();
print_r($setting);

?>

 

and when i run the script the array prints out. But when include i get undefined.

You're calling getSettings()

 

the function is account()
