PHP Include workaround need for tough/rough coded site

mag00 · April 8, 2013

Yeah, godaddy skewed me. I got upgraded from php 4 to 5 and the external include will no longer work.

Well I tried/put the include file into the root folder and still nothing.

The errors are at thefastesthorse.com

I don't know much about php coding, and just trying to get this back up and running

***********************

Warning: include() [function.include]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/content/88/10840488/html/thefastesthorse/index.php on line 96

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave

Reconfiguring their servers to make them more secure is not "screwing you".

Warning: include() [function.include]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/content/88/10840488/html/thefastesthorse/index.php on line 96

You have code like

include("http://www.thefastesthorse.com/syndication/folder1/top1.html");

That's incorrect. Never, ever include() URLs. Especially when they only contain HTML. Instead do

readfile($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/syndication/folder1/top1.html");

That will output a] the file as it exists on the machine, rather than as a location on the Internet and b] without trying to treat the file as PHP code, which it is not. Edited April 8, 2013 by requinix

I'll give that a try. I assume I use the readfile command in place of the include. I'll get back with results.

Thanks

Nope, didn't work.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in /home/content/88/10840488/html/thefastesthorse/index.php on line 98

The include function did work in php 4, and the website it referred to was axhole.com/syndication etc. That is where the syndication folder was so other sites of mine could grab the advertising. When I upgraded, it quit working, godaddy said it was a security issue getting external links in php5 so they disabled it. They did not have any workarounds for the ini file.

requinix · April 12, 2013

What's your full code?

jazzman1 · April 12, 2013

When I upgraded, it quit working, godaddy said it was a security issue getting external links in php5 so they disabled it. They did not have any workarounds for the ini file.

Why don't you create a custom php.ini file if you're thinking that the problem is there?

mag00 · April 14, 2013

@Jazzman, When this happened I asked godaddy for the work around and because of security, my understanding is the ini file will not work.

I do not know much if any about coding.

@ requinix, Attached is the page. There are three spots that use the include for the advertising. This is really just the google adsense code. I tried just eliminating the include command and running the code in that spot and that did not work either.

I was going to set it up on 1and1, and may try at a later date.

I may have broke it real bad changing things up, I need to find the original files, which I may or may not still have.\

These files seem to be messing with dreamweaver and simple text. I now have to open and edit using xcode. I really dislike OZX10.6 for some of these, "we think we know what you want features". AARGH

...Attached? Inline would be better.

The the section with the readfile is the code I have been trying to manipulate to get the adsense code working. That is were the include function was previously. I may not have that proper.

@Jazzman, When this happened I asked godaddy for the work around and because of security, my understanding is the ini file will not work.

I do not know much if any about coding.

You can create a custom php.ini file, it must called - php5.ini

Then, you have to describe which directives of the core php.ini file you want to override.

Store this file into your core home directory (to have effect to all websites) or into a specific directory.

Next, you need to kill the web processes to get your php5.ini file to take effect.

1. Log in to your Account Manager.

2. Click Web Hosting.

3. Next to the hosting account you want to use, click Launch.

4. In the Stats & Monitors section of the Control Panel in your hosting account, click the System Processes icon.

5. Click End Web and follow any prompts.

6. To check whether your php5.ini file takes effect, open a plain text editor and create a file called phpinfo.php. Insert the following line: <? phpinfo(); ?>

We don't know which directive of the new php.ini file has a conflict with your old school php code.

@mag00

I'm with Go Daddy and came across your post.

Has @Jazzman1's recommendation work for you?

If not or if you have any additional questions please feel free to reply or to send me a private message.

Thanks @Jazzman1 for helping our customer!

Hi Ken, thanks for offering the help. I was just poking around looking how to create a php.ini file. I came to get the code to get the phpinfo to paste in hopes we could figure out how the php ini should read. then I'll go do those steps Jazzman has outlined. I do not know how to do such things.

What is interesting is I found my site working perfectly at wayback machine.

Also I liked what requinix offered up, just that the code might need tweaking to work, or maybe I didn't do it right.

allow_url_include is off in the php info file.

How would I format this proper for the php5.ini?

requinix · April 18, 2013

Do not turn on allow_url_include. Fix the code instead.

Not sure why you thought removing it would help. Looks like you did try with readfile(). Does top1.html contain any PHP code?

mac_gyver · April 18, 2013

are you trying to include the code from a file at a different one of your sites into your site that's the subject in this thread or are you trying to include code from a file that is on the same site?

mag00 · April 18, 2013

Hi and thanks for coming back to help. The top1.html is purely google adsense code. Nothing else. I had a couple other sites that were very similar, with different content, and the syndication folder held the advertising codes formatted for this platform. I did try removing the include command and just insert the adsense, but that did not work. Seems with the templates and other pages that refer to this need to talk to each other.

The general idea was if I needed to change the advertiser over all sites, I could just change one file and all would change. When it was working, I did set the syndication folder in the root of the site that I wanted it on a couple sites, to change ads for that specific site, yet stay the same for that site and all pages within. I was able to alter the code on those specific sites to work without going to the other url(domain) to get the ads working. (until the php5 upgrade). One of the html in that syndication does have a php file, I think it is the frame.html.

I would love to just change the include command to something that would work through all pages and I have no idea why this command was used by the developer at that time back in about 2005. I may not have the exact code in my first readfile try. Also, I must mention that I only edited on page with the readfile change, would I need to change em all to make it work? I

I am open to suggestions, I am not versed in php scripting, but do pick it up fairly fast. I'm a free range geek LOL.

Thanks again

Dave

Originally that was the case, but I did alter the include to point to the root of the site on a couple of my sites. So no, I am not trying to use another site for the code any longer. I used to have close to twenty of these "information" sites back in the day, but now just really only want to keep about 3, and add content regular to them, and make a little money for my efforts.

My best site, onlinecorvette.com, died a horrible death, and I am not sure I can get that back ever. I cannot find the backup files for it. I added articles and blogs and all sorts of cool stuff, and had a following. I have to dig up an older computer and hope it still resides on it. It was 7 years ago when it was set up, and alot has changed in that time.
