[SOLVED] include problem

[StefanRSA]

I have my root folder as:

$root = $_SERVER["SITE_HTMLROOT"];  // the server root

 

Why does this not work when I want to include a php file:

include "$root/form.php";

 

But the link to an image work like:

<img src="<?echo $root;?>/images/pic1.gif">

on the same form???

I would personally use

$root=$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']

I feel like that would work better

Try that out and let me know

[StefanRSA]

Ouch! No, now nothing works??? Had to revert back to the old one but the include still dont work

What do you get when you echo out $root/form.php?

 

Remember the document root is not the same as the server root.

[iversonm]

well see with http_host is work include the the http://

so if your url is http://www.google.com/test.php

http_host will return www.google.com

i know that with include you can just do something like this

include "form.php";

or if its higher up

include "include/form.php";

I get: "/newadfield.php" when I

echo "$root/form.php";

 

[StefanRSA]

It works if I use:

include $root.'newadfield.php';

 

Is this correct or should I leave the $root out?

[Adam]

Yeah, you're basically trying to include the file from the server root. After a quick Google search found this, only skimmed through it quickly but should explain it to you..

Thanks Guys!

[iversonm]

here is why

$_SERVER["SITE_HTMLROOT"]; 

doesnt actually exist.

if you add

error_reporting(E_ALL);

You will see it throws an error so when you did this.

include $root.'newadfield.php';

$root was not set so it was the same thing as

include 'newadfield.php';

which is why I said to leave $root out..

 

Make sense?
