In the php file "create", you can see "include('../db.php');" in line 3.

You can see the file "db.php" in here

 

But I don't see the todo folder in there

If I put the file "db.php" in the folder "public_html", then the codes would work. But I want the file "db.php" to be in the folder "todolist_demo".

Whatever that means.  Perhaps you should work on your communication instead of your programming.  

Personally you should probably place sensitive php modules ABOVE your root folder where idle hackers have a bit harder time getting to.  Now (if you are showing is the right place) you seem to have this stuff inside your web root folder - not good.  And perhaps use an absolute path to avoid future confusion with your scripts.

If I'm reading everything correct, the "create" script is under todolist_demo > public_html > todo. The "create" script isn't able to find your db.php because the following line only goes up one level.

include('../db.php');

Basically, you're telling "create" that db.php is in your public_html folder. You either need to use "../../db.php". Or I would actually recommend switching that line so it starts at the document root. I'm guessing "public_html" is your root folder. If that's the case, you could try the following:

include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/../db.php';

And if you are really going to be a programmer you should enable the filename extensions in your windows install.  Makes it easier to tell one file from another when it has an .html or .php or a .js or a .inc on it.

Thanks for the tip!
