PHP Include Path Error

[mufasil]

Dear Sir,

 

I am building a small framework and going to check on my local computer by using "XAMPP Server" so i have 2 folder and 5 file the hierarchy is:

- inc

  - config.php (Contains all configuration of website like, Directory Separator, Include Path .. etc.)

  - autoload.php 

-classes

  - Url.php      (Class)

  - Core.php   (Class)

- index.php

 

when i try to run this application i got following Error:

 

 

Warning: require_once(Core.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\completed\inc\autoload.php on line 7

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'Core.php' (include_path='.;C:\xampp\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp\htdocs\completed\inc\autoload.php on line 7

 

I have also tried to change settings of include_path php.ini changes are following:

1. remove ',;' from include_path

2. try to change to this '\php\PEAR'

3. put ';' in starting og php_include_path

 

my current default setting of php include is:

 

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; Paths and Directories ;

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; Windows: "\path1;\path2"

include_path=".;C:\xampp\php\PEAR"

;

 

Now what i see after doing the changes in php.ini file.

When i add ';' in starting of include_path website seems to work but files locations are changed and file not able to access properly means the URL looks like this,

URL: localhost/images/abc.png

The proper URL is:

Proper URL: localhost/project-name/images/abc.png

 

Kindly tell me what i do to solve this problem 

 

Thanks

Two separate problems.

 

First one: use absolute paths whenever possible and reserve the include_path for external code (not bundled with the website's code).

- It'd be great if you could have the URLs mirror the final, production URLs. So if the correct production path to the image is "/images/abc.png" then you should have that happening in your dev environment as well.

- If you have just the one project then move all the project-name/ files into the htdocs folder and do away with the subdirectory.

- If you have more than one, use separate domain names and separate VirtualHost entries for each. Then the full URLs would be (example:) http://project-name.localhost/images/abc.png. You'll need to edit your Windows hosts file for that to work, creating an entry inside it for each subdomain, but it's worth it.

- In your code, $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] will now always point to the root of your website. You can then create absolute paths with code like

require_once($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/classes/Core.php");

The second one: it would be solved with the stuff above regarding the URLs and such.

If you can't do that then it gets complicated and you have to deal with relative paths in CSS and such; right now you're using "/images/abc.png" with a leading slash and instead you'd have to do "images/abc.png" without the slash. It gets worse when you need to go up a directory or two because you'd have to use URLs like "../../images/abc.png".

Thanks requinix for your detailed reply.

I am 100% agree with your reply, i think i can't able to describe my problem properly, Basically i am learning php i have great knowledge about procedural PHP, now i am using "Udemy.com" tutorials to learn OOPS and work with Framework, so i am following my Udemy teacher what he is doing, and i think the tutor is doing perfect coding because when i run that coding on my hosting that works fine, so i am sharing my whole coding please check and tell me the solution, The only problem is that when i tried to access my index.php file the following error occurs.

 

My Project Path: C://xampp/htdocs/project-name

    public static function cPage() // yeh current page return karta hai.

    {

        return isset($_GET[self::$_page]) ? $_GET[self::$_page] : 'index';

    }

    public static function getPage()

    {

        $page = self::$_folder.DS.self::cPage().".php";

        $error = self::$_folder.DS."error.php";

        return is_file($page) ? $page : $error;

    }

    public static function getAll()

All your classes are located in the classes folder. 

 

In config.php there is a constant called CLASSES_DIR . This contains the path to where your classes are located. Prepending CLASSES_DIR to $path should now allow the autoloader to find the class files  within your classes folder

 

require_once($path);  should be 

require_once(CLASSES_DIR . DS . $path); 

//OR

require_once(ROOT_PATH . CLASSES_DIR . DS . $path);

Thanks to all, The problem is solved by making virtual host sub domain in xampp.
