Including problem

clown[NOR] · April 7, 2007

ahh..thanks Ken... I just learned something now here to =) but he's not using the include() anymore =)

Shade.Alchemist · April 7, 2007

Thanks for that, fixed the unexpected variable problem, but I still have this in the main page :

i think i have to give up on this one.. I'm still a rookie myself when it comes to PHP.. so I think you just have to wait for someone more skilled to help you out...

kenrbnsn · April 7, 2007

Are you invoking your script it "id" on the URL:

http://you.domain.here/index.php?id=somefile

Ken

clown[NOR] · April 7, 2007

i think he is using

?id=content&show=crew

or something

Shade.Alchemist · April 7, 2007

The this is, even when viewing the index.php I'm getting the error:

Warning: main(.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/eternalt/public_html/index.php on line 160

You seriously need to learn how to debug man. Especially since all of this can easily be debugged really. Especially if you would post the full code, the file that is including the file and the file to be included.

Because that that main is stating is that there is no file just named ".php" The variable is not being displayed. So somewhere in your code you are either wiping out that variable or not setting it properly. Whether it be you are setting it in a function and forgot to return or do the global scape or you have register_globals turned off and you think it is on.

Syntax errors are confusing in any language a basic rule of thumb is if the error is not in the line it states chances are it is somewhere above it. I learned that my first day of programming. Syntax errors are the easiest to fix and it really makes me think if people should be trying to code who cannot even fix their own syntax errors.

Anyone until you post FULL CODE of the file involved you will NOT get this problem resolved. Pandoras box would take a long time to open by luck.

neel_basu · April 7, 2007

I think I've got the Error.

Please Post again the lines (only those lines) where the include() or include_once() or require() or require_once() are staying in your index.php.

Shade.Alchemist · April 7, 2007

Was playing around with the code and things seem to work now...

I'll post the code in case some of you guys are just curious.

Thanks for the help everybody, I appreciate it alot

Just one thing...

?id=content/staff&show=tenks

This doesn't seem to show the intended file, where as the one below does...

?id=content&show=crew

How do you fix it? I'm pretty sure I've just misplaced something in the first one.

clown[NOR] · April 7, 2007

You will never get that to work =)

?id=content/staff&show=tenks

you cant separate folders with / in the url

you have to do something like this

?id=content&cat=staff&show=tenks

and then you must do something like this where you include the wanted file

<?php
if ($id == "content") { $include = "$id/$cat/$show.php"; }
?>

I also have another good idea for you... visit this website www.php.net and read about functions and how to use them

Shade.Alchemist · April 7, 2007

I replaced

<?php
$include = "home.php";
$id = $_GET['id'];
$show = $_GET['show'];
if (isset($id)) { 
if ($id == "content") { $include = "$id/$show.php"; }
}
if (!file_exists($include)) { $include = "404.php"; }
require_once($include);
?>

With

<?php
$include = "home.php";
$id = $_GET['id'];
$show = $_GET['show'];
if ($id == "content") { $include = "$id/$cat/$show.php"; }
if (isset($id)) { 
if ($id == "content") { $include = "$id/$show.php"; }
}
if (!file_exists($include)) { $include = "404.php"; }
require_once($include);
?>

Yet now I get page not found even though the the file is in the specified directory :S

clown[NOR] · April 7, 2007

first of all... you have forgot to add

$cat = $_GET['cat'];

second.. you cant setup the code like you've done.. more like this

if (isset($id)) {
if (isset($cat)) { $include = "$id/$cat/$show.php"; }
}

but i really cant give you any more good help here.. cuz I have no clue at all on how your map/file tree looks like.. i understand that tenks.php is located under content/staff.. but that's all i know... I think you should start out much slower than you're doing now... go step by step, dont try to build everything at once...

i have a test folder on my server.. and everytime I'm trying out new stuff I try it there before I add it to the site...

Shade.Alchemist · April 7, 2007

I don't think I'm going to fast... I've got all the info and content, I just need to get the inclusion working. I obviously don't have the knowledge to do this however, I'm reading into php but I cannot find a solution as I am still pretty new to the whole concept. Sorry if I'm not very helpful...

So anyway, I still have it appearing to not find the files... and how much of the file tree do you need to know? I'll give what I think you might need... Just ask if you need more.

>content

-games

-media

-profiles

-staff

>images

>media

The inclusion code at the moment is this

<?php
$include = "home.php";
$id = $_GET['id'];
$cat = $_GET['cat'];
$show = $_GET['show'];
if (isset($id)) {
if (isset($cat)) { $include = "$id/$cat/$show.php"; }
}
if ($id == "content") { $include = "$id/$show.php"; }
if (!file_exists($include)) { $include = "404.php"; }
require_once($include);
?>

clown[NOR] · April 7, 2007

ok...that helped a little bit...

but is the index.php inside or outside content?

clown[NOR] · April 7, 2007

if the index.php is outside content and games, media, profiles & staff are sub folders i would maybe do something like this:

<?php

$include = "home.php";
$show = $_GET['show'];
$cat = $_GET['cat'];
$sub = $_GET['sub'];

if (isset($id)) {
	if (isset($cat)) {
		if (isset($sub)) { $include = "$cat/$sub/$show.php"; }
		else { $include = "$cat/$show.php"; }
	} else { $include = "$show.php"; }
}
if (!file_exists($include)) { $include = "404.php"; }
require_once($include);

?>

here's an explination on what each variable means:

$show - This is used to get file names

$cat - this is used to access the first folder

$sub - this is used to access subfolder inside $cat

so if you want to access a file under content/staff

the link should be

?cat=content&sub=staff&show=filename

if you want to access a file inside content this would be the link

?cat=content&show=filename

but if you want to access a file in the same folder as index.php you use

?show=filename

hope this helped a little

Shade.Alchemist · April 7, 2007

Thanks alot, it's increased my understanding of it, but I still get the same damn problem... It still says the file doesn't exist.

Am I missing something?

index.php is in the root directory... /public_html/index.php

This

Is

Confusing

clown[NOR] · April 7, 2007

can u give me the url to your site?

Shade.Alchemist · April 7, 2007

clown[NOR] · April 7, 2007

http://eternal-tales.com/contect/staff/tenks.php

Shade.Alchemist · April 7, 2007

http://eternal-tales.com/content/staff/tenks.php

clown[NOR] · April 7, 2007

Shade.Alchemist · April 8, 2007

I see... Thanks for your help thus far though, much appreciated.

clown[NOR] · April 8, 2007
