[SOLVED] require_once('../') error

[canadabeeau]

Hi I have the following code within a file in caleed header.php

 

wwwroot/theme/default/header.php

	session_start();
$require_once = '/_inc/php/functions.php';
require_once($require_once);

 

which is calling functions.php which is located in wwwroot/_inc/php/functions.php

 

can anyone help me figure out why the code above returns the following errors

 

Warning: require_once(/_inc/php/functions.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\theme\default\header.php on line 4

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/_inc/php/functions.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\theme\default\header.php on line 4

I have tried in header.php

 

	session_start();
$require_once = '../../_inc/php/functions.php';
require_once($require_once);

 

with no luck

 

for more info the error occurs when visiting wwwroot/index.php (the one I am testing with for this error, happens on all pages)

 

Warning: require_once(../../_inc/php/functions.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\theme\default\header.php on line 4

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../../_inc/php/functions.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\theme\default\header.php on line 4

Does anyone know about the require_once function?

The error message says that your file path is incorrect I will show some examples:

OK, let say I have my files in a directory(includes) and I want to include files from that directory in a that which is in same place with includes directory.

$file = "includes/header.php";
include($file);

but it would be better to use a condition for checking if file path if ok or not.

$file = "includes/file.php";
if(file_exists($file)){
include($file);
}else{
echo "File not found: $file";
}

 

another example:

Lets say I have a folder named includes and another folder named pages and what I want to do is include file form includes folder in newpage.php which is in pages folder then

$file = "../includes/config.php";
include($file);

 

Hope it helps

I have amanaged to figure part of this out I have to enter the dirroot ie C:\inetpub\wwwroot etc

 

but no I keep getting

Notice: Undefined index: uri in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\_inc\php\functions.php on line 95

 

What's this mean

[PHPFreaksMaster]

check your functions.php file you didn't declare $uri variable before using

or past your functions.php file code

[canadabeeau]

how do I declare the $uri variable before using?

 

$uri = $_GET['uri'];

[PHPFreaksMaster]

You are getting uri from URL,

your url must something like this

http://localhost/mysite/pagename.php?uri=somevalue

if your url is empty I mean is not declared then it will give that error

[canadabeeau]

This is the code I have

 

	$MYSQLI = FUNC_DB_CONNECT();	
$uri = $_GET['uri'];
$FUNC_HEADER_TITLE_QRY = "SELECT * FROM `pages` WHERE `uri`='$uri' LIMIT 1";
$FUNC_HEADER_TITLE_RESULT = $MYSQLI->query($FUNC_HEADER_TITLE_QRY, MYSQLI_STORE_RESULT);
$FUNC_HEADER_TITLE_ARRAY = mysqli_fetch_array($FUNC_HEADER_TITLE_RESULT);
	$FUNC_HEADER_TITLE_VALUE = $FUNC_HEADER_TITLE_ARRAY['title'];
if($uri == "") {
	$title = "AA";
} else {
	$title = "AA ¦ ".$FUNC_HEADER_TITLE_VALUE;
};
echo $title;

 

any suggestions on what I should do?

[canadabeeau]

I get the same error for this PHP function

function FUNC_WELCOME_MESSAGE(){
if($_SESSION['SESS_LOGIN_USERNAME'] == ""){
	echo "Welcome ".FUNC_VISITOR_IP().", to AA. <a href='http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."/login/' class='loginout'>Login</a>";
} else {
	echo "Welcome ".$_SESSION['SESS_LOGIN_USERNAME'].", to AA. <a href='http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."/login/logout.php' class='loginout'>Logout</a>";
};
};
