path not recognized

[dphil311]

For some reason I've been having difficulty trying to echo a path from my database.  I'm running mySQL 3.23 and PHP 4+

 

Here's a test file:

 

http://pack1705.com/calendar/test.php

 

Here's the code:

 

<?php

echo 'Document root: '.$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'<br />';
echo 'Path: '.$sem_config['path'].'<br />';
echo 'Path: '.$sem_config['news_url'].'<br />';
echo 'Path: '.$sem_users['full_name'].'<br />';

?>

 

As you can see, it is not calling any information from the database.  However the call function seems to be working with "Document root."  I'm not sure what is going on.  Maybe this will help someone point me in the right direction.

 

Thanks in advance,

Duane

I can't help since I'm unaware to see where $sem_config is defined...however, you may be able to try:

 

<?php
print "Path: " . $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
?>

I guess I should have mentioned that I'm the guy who knows just enough to make himself dangerous. 

 

So with that said, what kind of (specific) information do you need with $sem_config?  Basically I've created a test script to help me identify the problem within a calendar script.

 

Thanks!

Where exactly in your script to you set $sem_config to some array?  I'll need to see that.  I'm assuming it's in a config.php that is included using include or require?  But either way, I'll need to see it.

Okay, here we go

 

Here's the original error message:

 

http://www.pack1705.com/calendar/events.php

 

Here's the Line 12-16 of the code:

 

require $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/".$sem_config['path']."admin/config.php";
$langfile = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/".$sem_config['path']."languages/".$lang.".lang.php";
$default = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/".$sem_config['path']."languages/english.lang.php";
if (file_exists($langfile))  include $langfile;
else include $default;

 

Hope this helps...thanks.

Still not seeing where $sem_config is defined...At some point in your script you must have done something like:

$sem_config = array(...);

Sorry, I'm not finding anything like that in any of the pages.  Thanks for the help.

That's your problem.  You're trying to access the variable $sem_config which has never been defined.  Check your config.php file and make sure it's not there.  If it isn't, that is why this doesn't work for you.
