Likely simple include question (godaddy)

[Mikangakang]

To preface this; I have very little php and website experience, so please bear with me.

What I'm trying to do is a (hopefully) simple php_include for the header, menu, and footer of my portfolio website. I'm using GoDaddy, which google has now told me does PHP in a really strange fashion.

 

EDIT: Okay, I fixed one problem, and since nobody has replied, I'm just going to edit this one topic.

 

The code I have is this:

<?php include ("http://mikholmes.com/phpinclude/topchunk.php"); ?>


Site Content

<?php include ("http://mikholmes.com/phpinclude/bottomchunk.php"); ?>

 

The errors I get are this:

Warning: include() [function.include]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/content/m/i/k/mikholmes/html/testphp.php on line 1

Warning: include(http://mikholmes.com/phpinclude/topchunk.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/content/m/i/k/mikholmes/html/testphp.php on line 1

Now, it no doubt has something to do with that pesky "url file access is disabled." How can I directly access my /phpinclude/ folder with pages in other folders?

try using just the file location without trying to use the whole url:

 

<?php

include 'phpinclude/topchunk.php';

?>

try using just the file location without trying to use the whole url:

 

I considered trying this, but due to assignment requirements (this is for a class assignment btw), I need to have different pages in different folders. So if I have

/mik/etc1/whatever.php

/mik/etc2/whatever2.php

how can I make both include

/mik/phpinclude/whatever

without specifying the URL?

 

HOWEVER, I did some googling, and added

<?php set_include_path( get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] ); ?>

to the top of my php pages, and I think it works. I've yet to try it out fully in multiple pages, but from this forum's experience and opinion, is this a good idea?

[chrismarsden]

well this should work just as well i think, as long as they are located in the same html_public folder just specify the folder path from there:

 

<?php

include 'mic/ect/whatever.php';

?>
<?php

include 'mic/ect2/whatever2.php';

?>

 

either that or i dont understand the question

[Mikangakang]

Other way around. I want to keep my topchunk.php and bottomchunk.php in the html_public/phpincludes/ folder, while having a bunch of pages in other folders.

So if "html_public/games/pages/etcetera/index.html" includes "phpincludes/topchunk.php", won't it say "Can't find /games/pages/etcetera/phpincludes/topchunk.php"?

[chrismarsden]

just tested it on my localhost server as i wasnt sure but you are right... maybe the key would be keep your website structure simpler lol...

 

other than that all i can say is i tried lmao...

 

hope you find the answer your looking for.
