PHP and Include()

[aarushi2001]

Hi,

I am using PHP 4.3.11. I have recently started coding in PHP and I need help.

I am trying to connect to the DB, I have created files: config.inc and opendb.inc, when I call these files using include() function, I get a blank page.

But if I dont use the include() and hard-code my php files, I am able to access the database.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Can you show us your code? Specifically how you use the includes? And is the code that you hardcode with the same code as in the files you include?

Hi,

Thanks for such a quick response,

Code which include 'include()'

<?php
include 'config.php';
include 'opendb.php';

$query = "SELECT firstname FROM customers";
$result = mysql_query($query);

while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "$line[firstname] <br> $line[lastname]";

}

include 'closedb.php';
?>

Code which doesnot include 'include()'

<?php
$link = mysql_connect("mysql", "*****", "****");
mysql_select_db("***");

$query = "SELECT firstname, lastname FROM customers";
$result = mysql_query($query);

while ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "$line[firstname] <br> $line[lastname]";

}

mysql_close($link);
?>

Thanks
