Failed to Open Stream....you've probably seen this before...


Recommended Posts

Ok...this is my first post to any forum...ever.  I am a true beginner.  I continue to get this error whenever the file "tpl_unsecure.php" is required...everytime, no matter what file it is required in.  The path is absolutey correct.  And yes ths is practice from a PHP book I am reading.

 

Error:

Warning: require_once(../_lib/_base/elements.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\Book DVD Life\site\tpl_unsecure.php on line 5

 

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '../_lib/_base/elements.php' (include_path='.;C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\pear;\C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\Book DVD Life\_lib\_base;\C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\Book DVD Life\_lib\_classes;\C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\Book DVD Life\site\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\Book DVD Life\core\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\Book DVD Life\_img\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\Book DVD Life\_lib\_base\') in C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\Book DVD Life\site\tpl_unsecure.php on line 5

 

Code:

 

// get the tpl_unsecure.php file that has the needed

// functions for the rest of this page

require_once('../tpl_unsecure.php');

require_once('../../_lib/_classes/class.products.php');

 

The path is in my php.ini file.  And "elements.php" runs fine.

 

I have even had a second pair of eyes look at the path to make sure I wasn't going crazy!

Thanks for any help you pros can provide!

 

"There were no stupid questions...or at least until now."

Try using the absolute path(exact path on your HDD).

 

require('C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\Book DVD Life\_base/elements.php');

 

Just, also as a side note, make a script that echo's the "cwd()" function, might be something wrong with your PHP configuration.
