I had a little problem With the include() function

Hello Phofreaks.

I had a little problem With the include() function.

1.Example – works fine

  $validate = 'C:\xampp\htdocs\includes\userData.inc.php';

  include $validate;

 

2.exampel – Get an error

$validate = '../includes/userData.inc.php';

  include $validate;

 

I do not understand what the different is, but every time I get the following error.

include(../includes/userData.inc.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory

You're using an absolute path in the first example, but a relative path in the second example. And the relative path isn't correct...

It looks like you're running your file in htdocs and need to drop the "../" from the relative path.

okay..

 

 

I hat try to change the code:

$validate = realpath('includes/userData.inc.php');

  include $validate;

 

But I Still get an error.

include() [function.include]: Filename cannot be empty in C:\xampp\htdocs\modules\updateUser.inc.php

http://www.php.net/realpath

realpath() returns FALSE on failure, e.g. if the file does not exist.

Do you have a way to work behind this error?

try the DOCUMENT_ROOT:

 

<?
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/includes/userData.inc.php');
?>
