PHP Include wont work!?

[dominod]

For some reason this wont work.. Index is jsut returned blank ... Hmm

 

Index.php :

<?php
include("http://www.website.com/cookie.php");
?>

 

 

Cookie.php:

<?php
if (isset($_COOKIE["background"]))
  $background = $_COOKIE['background'];
else
  $background = " bgcolor='#FFFFFF'";
?>

 

It works perfectly if I just enter the code without using a include ...

Including a file over HTTP won't get you the source code, only the output (which in your case is nothing). Try this:

 

include("cookie.php");

would it work if he had

<?php
include ("www.website.com/cookie.php");
?>

???

No, including a file with a url in any format will not work. This is because PHP will parse the included file separately and only include the output of that script.

 

When including files you should use local file paths, as in Alex's example.

Yes, of cource!

 

Thanks for your help!
