PHP Include doesn't seem to work...

[Mesden]

Ever since I updated to PHP5 my Include has stopped working. Not sure why, did they revise how includes should look or something..? Here's the area of the coding of which it seems to be stuck..

 

<div id="templatemo_site_title_bar">
  <div id="site_title">
    <h1><a href="/">SC2X.Net<span>Your Premiere Source for<br />
      Starcraft II! </span></a></h1>
  </div>
  <ul id="templatemo_menu">
    <li><a href="/" class="current"><span></span>Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="http://www.sc2x.net/wordpress/" target="_blank"><span></span>News</a></li>
    <li><a href="http://www.sc2x.net/phpBB3" target="_blank"><span></span>Forums</a></li>
    <li><a href="#" target="_blank"><span></span>Replays</a></li>
    <li><a href="/guide.php">Guides</a></li>
    <li><a href="http://astore.amazon.com/scne09-20"><span></span>Store</a></li>
  </ul>
<div id="search_box"><br />

          <?php include 'http://www.sc2x.net/random.php' ?>

  </div>
</div>

You are using a URL in the include. If you are attempting to include content on the same site, you should use a file system path instead of a URL (the include will operate about 50-100 times faster.)

 

In order to use a URL in the include, both the allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include settings must be on.

And here's the coding for the random.php file, I'll try changing the include to just /random.php, rather than http://

 

<?php

 

$textfile ="random.txt";

 

 

 

$items = file("$textfile");

 

$item = rand(0, sizeof($items)-1);

 

echo $items[$item];

 

?>
