How to include other classes

[turing_machine]

Hi,

 

I am running a web server for which I place the php files in /var/www folder and they work fine from the browser.

 

Now, I wish to use SSH2 class that can be found at (http://phpseclib.sourceforge.net/documentation/net.html#net_ssh_ssh2). I have placed SSH2.php in the same folder (/var/www) but it doesn't work. I have also copied the file in /usr/share/php (which is the path returned by ini_get('include_path') command).

 

Where do I put my required file (SSH2.php) so that I can use it.

 

Thanks

If the file is on your include_path you just need to include it.

 

include 'SSH2.php';

That does not work.

 

Trying the following,

<?php

  include 'SSH2.php';

  echo "Successful";

?>

 

Google chrome gives "Server Error".

What is the HTTP status code? (500 etc etc)

 

Is PHP throwing any errors saying that the file could not be included?

if (include('SSH2.php')) {
echo 'Success';
} else {
echo 'Fail on include.';
}

@Buddski include does not return true or false on success or failure.

 

@op It also does not throw any error if it fails. You have other issues with your server. What does the error log have to say?

@Buddski include does not return true or false on success or failure.

Does on my servers

If the file can't be included, FALSE is returned and E_WARNING is issued.

Ha, well there is one I obviously forgot about. I generally use require because I want my scripts to fail if any dependencies aren't found, I assumed include failed silently.

phpseclib expects you to include Net/SSH2.php - not SSH2.php directly.  To top it off SSH2.php has dependencies.  It expects Math/BigInteger.php to be present, etc.
