Simple question (really it is)

[prime]

I am including a php script I've written for every page.

 

I don't need to include it here as its just a script to basically set site modes for maintenance and passwords and such, no big deal.

 

but I seem to have run into a very very simple problem, which for the life of me I cant seem to work out.

 

I want to have an "or die" function on an include

 

like thus:

 

 

                <?php

                        $local_pass = "off"; //not active yet

                        $local_mode = "open";     

                        @include("mscript.php") or die("unable to access MScript");

              ?>

 

But for some weird reason I cant seem to get this or die working on an include, is there something real basic here I'm missing?

You need an if/else condition...

[prime]

I basically just want the page to die though if it cant access that file.

 

And I'm not sure how to check if its accessible via an include

What do you mean if it can't access that file? It won't mess up a code.

[prime]

I know.

 

But I am running it on a page that I don't want displayed at all if it cant include the file

use require instead of include

The folloing code is completely untested, and coming from a noob, but try something like:

 <?php
$success =  @include("mscript.php");
if (!$success)
  {
    die('unable to access MScript')
}
                        $local_pass = "off"; //not active yet
                        $local_mode = "open";       
                        @include("mscript.php")
                   ?>

                        @include("mscript.php")
                   ?>

 

there you see, if statement.

$success =  @include("mscript.php") or die('Unable to access MScript');
//code

None of thats working still :-(

[darkfreaks]

 <?php
$success =  @require("mscript.php");
if (!$success)
  {
    die('unable to access MScript')
}
                        $local_pass = "off"; //not active yet
                        $local_mode = "open";       
                        @require("mscript.php")
                   ?>

Uhm...require?

[prime]

a straight require works good and gives a blank screen if it doesn't work.

 

But I am also after a gracefull degrade message and that if statment just isn't working

 

it's giving:

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/content/m/e/t/metaconcert/html/primefalcon/index.php on line 12

 

 

[Fadion]

ok try echoing a succesfully included file:

 

echo include 'myfile.php'; //ex it echoes '1'

 

then:

if((include 'myfile.php') != '1'){
     die('Didnt load');
}
//code

[darkfreaks]

what is line 12?

[Jessica]

require('file.php') OR die("error message");

[teng84]

use require or include depends on your needs any way try to use

require_once and include_once

 

try

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php

[teng84]

require('file.php') OR die("error message");

oops i dont this would work if you cant find the path and u use require this will terminate the whole script

but for include it will continue but still error will occur

 

i vote!!

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php

[prime]

<?php

$local_pass = "off"; //not active yet

$local_mode = "open";     

require("mscript.php") or die("unable to access script");

?>

 

Just gives a blank page if it fails, it wont give the die message.

 

 

 

 

 

and with the

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/content/m/e/t/metaconcert/html/primefalcon/index.php on line 12

 

 

 

 

 

<?php

$success =  @require("mscript.php");

if (!$success)

  {

    die('unable to access MScript')

}//This is line 12

                        $local_pass = "off"; //not active yet

                        $local_mode = "open";     

                        @require("mscript.php")

                  ?>

[teng84]

use require or include depends on your needs any way try to use

require_once and include_once

 

try

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-exists.php

[darkfreaks]

instead of include or require try require_once or include_once

 

Try this was missing a ; at the end of the if statement

 

 <?php
$success =  @require("mscript.php");
if (!$success){
    die('unable to access MScript');
}
                        $local_pass = "off"; //not active yet
                        $local_mode = "open";       
                        @require("mscript.php");
                   ?>

[teng84]

you dont have a terminator

 

$aray=array('page.php', 'page2.php');
foreach($aray as $array)
if (file_exists($array)) {
    require_once $array;
} else {
    echo "The file  $array  does not exist";
}

try i havent test that but that will test all your file you want to include by adding the value in an array

[prime]

The require was still giving blank, so I changed to include again so it reads

 

<?php

$success =  @include("mscript.php");

if (!$success){

    die('unable to access MScript');

}

                        $local_pass = "off"; //not active yet

                        $local_mode = "open";     

                        @include("mscript.php");

                  ?>

 

and that works perfectly, thank you so much, so much for the simple include or die I thought it would be lol

[teng84]

instead of include or require try require_once or include_once

 

Try this was missing a ; at the end of the if statement

 

 <?php
$success =  @require("mscript.php");
if (!$success){
    die('unable to access MScript');
}
                        $local_pass = "off"; //not active yet
                        $local_mode = "open";       
                        @require("mscript.php");
                   ?>

 

that wont work thats the same as jesirose did

 

look when we assign anything in a variable the action is also happening like

$x=include 'fdsf.php';

 

even if you do that still the script or php will read your code as including that file so if the code cant find it it will give an error note: the result for that code you produce is not boolean so error will occur

[darkfreaks]

no i was still right 

 

 

he was just missing 2 terminators in his code so he got errors
