No errors, but page not executing...

[Alex-Grim]

I am trying to write my first OOP script, and i know that it's messed up, but it's not giving me any errors, or any output. I have turned on the error_reporting to E_STRICT in my php.ini file and restarted apache, but it has made no difference...

[rajivgonsalves]

must be a parse error also turn on display_errors setting in php.ini file

[Alex-Grim]

Here's my code in the first file:

<?php
$br = "<br/><br/>";
$e = "<h1>ErRoR</h1>";
$myfile = "/includes/classes/MySql.php";

readfile($myfile) OR die("<h1>ErRoR! Content not available!</h1>");
include_once $myfile or die($e);
echo "Page Loaded, and MySql.php included. $br";
?>

dfffffffffggsdfgsdfgsdfg

 

And the result in the first error message, but i'm sure the path is right...

 

[Alex-Grim]

yeah, i turned on the display_errors and restarted apache, and i still get no errors, other than the ones i  use in my script. I've also tried screwing up the code on purpose, and still, nothing.

[rajivgonsalves]

try this

 

<?php
$br = "<br/><br/>";
$e = "<h1>ErRoR</h1>";
$myfile = "/includes/classes/MySql.php";
    if (file_exists($myfile))
{
	include_once($myfile);
	echo "Page Loaded, and MySql.php included. $br";
}
else
{
   echo ($e."<h1>ErRoR! Content not available!</h1>");
}
?>

dfffffffffggsdfgsdfgsdfg

I meant to include this:

display_errors	On	On
display_startup_errors	Off	Off
doc_root	no value	no value
docref_ext	no value	no value
docref_root	no value	no value
enable_dl	On	On
error_append_string	no value	no value
error_log	no value	no value
error_prepend_string	no value	no value
error_reporting	2048	2048

I could be completely overlooking something in the path (i've been up for 2 days working on a flash website, now this). Here's a screenshot of Gedit, you can see the path in the top, and the file name in the tab -- wel, you know what the hell you're looking at, duh (i keep forgetting i'm talking to OTHER LINUX/Unix users for a change).

===Edit===

I meant to add, AlexGrim is the root web folder, so the path is relative to that.

One thing i want to ask is, do i have to have my includes folder listed in my includes path (if there is such a thing, which i'm sure there is). This can't be the problem though, because it's saying the file cannot be found even by the readfile() method. I use readfile() for my other site (LinuxIntro.com) to load the content into the Index (only) page, and i don't have anything listed in my include path.

this

 

$myfile = "/includes/classes/MySql.php";

 

should be

 

$myfile = "includes/classes/MySql.php";

 

notice I removed one slash that assuming the script runs from the root folder

[Alex-Grim]

The funny thing is, the leading slash is the shorthand way of saying "webroot", and works for everything else in a website (css, html, javascript, etc), but that got past one error after removing it, thatnx.

 

The next problem is that i'm still not loading the page, and now it stops executing after the readfile() method. Here's the madification i made to the code:

    if (file_exists($myfile))
{
	echo "The file DOES exist. $br";
	include_once($myfile);
	echo "Page Loaded, and MySql.php included. $br";
}

I get the first echo, and nothing else after that.

 

[Alex-Grim]

Disregard that last comment. The cause was that there were errors in the second file, so it couldn't load it , but that brings me back to the reason i started this thread: why am i not getting any errors....

 

[rajivgonsalves]

your error reporting should in php.ini file should be

 

error_reporting  =  E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT

 

[PFMaBiSmAd]

When learning php, developing php code, or debugging php code, you should not disable NOTICE messages.

[rajivgonsalves]

Yeah that was actually just a copy paste from my production server....
