require error in a function

[canadabeeau]

I have a php function in functions.php

function func_page_layout(){
$uri = $_GET['uri'];
if($uri == ""){
	$uri = "home";
} else {
	$uri = $uri;
};
$mysqli = func_db_connect();
$qry = "SELECT * FROM `pages` WHERE `uri`='$uri' LIMIT 1";
$result = $mysqli->query($qry, MYSQLI_STORE_RESULT);
$array = mysqli_fetch_array($result);
	$layout = $array['layout'];
require_once('themes/default/layouts/layout001.php');
};

 

now this is not working

 

but if in the page instead of executing the function I do the include straight out it works, any ideas?

 

the PHP error code(s)

Warning: require_once(themes/default/layouts/layout001.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\_inc\functions.php on line 148

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'themes/default/layouts/layout001.php' (include_path='c:\php\includes') in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\_inc\functions.php on line 148

 

Line #148 is

require_once('themes/default/layouts/layout001.php');

the error is pretty clear. PHP couldn't find the file you specified. make sure the file is located where you expect it to be located, and your include path is correct

okay

wwwroot/index.php  (calls the function in functions.php)

wwwroot/_inc/functions.php    (require_once the layout file)

wwwroot/themes/default/layouts/layout001.php

if I was th put the require_once straight in index.php all works well but as soon as it is placed in the function the errors appear.

 

I have tried

	require_once('../themes/default/layouts/layout001.php');

[canadabeeau]

if I set it to use the URL path

	require_once('http://10.0.0.1/themes/default/layouts/layout001.php');

 

it works, any ideas guys??
