your include path is incorrect check if it reffers to the right folder

include("layout.php");

include("layout.php");

 

This is the source file from which i am browsing

 

<?php

// include the layout file

include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/layout.php';

// Use the myheader function from layout.php

myheader("Welcome to My Website!");

// Include the welcome html page.

include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/html/index_page.html';

// Use the footer function from layout.php

footer();

?>

is layout.php in a folder?

is layout.php in a folder?

 

When i use this superglobal i dont get the document root.

 

<?php

echo($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'])

?>

 

i think that is the problem.

Am i missing some configuration settings?

Either $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] is not being set on your server or you have some code prior to what you posted that is overwriting it or a statement in a .htaccess file that is setting it to an empty value.

 

Is the code you just posted to echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] the only code in the file?

That is the only code in my script

 

<?php

echo($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'])

?>

 

Actually i ran up a search and i found it could be because i use IIS and ths is an apache thing.

Could that be?

[PFMaBiSmAd]

There is a doc_root = setting in php.ini that should be set under IIS to be to your IIS root folder, typically c:\Inetpub\wwwroot

i have changed the setting.

The error has change from displaying nothing to "The page cannot be found"

Actual code? And what does echoing $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] show? You probably have a missing \ or too many of them \\

the code is that simple.only three lines.

If u follow this topic u will realise i was zeroing down on a problem.

 

<?php

echo($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);

?>

 

And i use IIS.
