im not really following what you are trying to tell us here

[dfqaz]

including() function or require_once() function is not working on my pc. Im working on windows 7. Is that my problem? All php functions and apachi is working on windows 7?

[fugix]

what are your results? Do you receive any errors with the function or is it not including the script

Put the following at the top of your PHP code and see what errors are you getting:

 

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", 1);

 

Thanks!

also, might be because you are not using a relative path...are you using a localhost server? try this

<?php require_once 'example/dir/footer.php'; ?>

using the full path to the file

In order to run PHP code on your computer you need to install a http server (IIS or Apache) which is configured with PHP. Simply just loading test.php directly into your web browser will not work.

 

If you have installed a Server that is configured with PHP then make sure you are saving the php files in your servers root folder and going to http://localhost/test.php to run it.

Wildteen is correct. Your code is perfect but the main problem lies in server side where it can not read php. To test it in your Windows OS, you may better try WAMP it'll take less than 5 minutes.
