[SOLVED] php includes

[ohdang888]

i new to php

 

i use

<?php include("../include/file.php")?>

 

but i can;t figure out the path if i am in in the root directory....

i use...

<?php include("/include/file.php")?>

but it won't work.... (the folder "include "is located in the same folder as this page.)

I think (but am not entirely sure, so please correct me if I'm wrong ) that you'd want to do something similar to:

<?php
include('./path/to/file.php');//not so sure on this one
include('path/to/file.php');
?>

Remove the leading /

 

but i can;t figure out the path if i am in in the root directory....

i use...

<?php include("/include/file.php")?>

but it won't work.... (the folder "include "is located in the same folder as this page.)

You will 99.99999% not have your files in the root directory.

[ohdang888]

this code is on my index.php of the root directory

 

<?php include("inlcude/topmenu.php")?>

 

and the path to the file is mysite/include/topmenu.php

 

what am i doing wrong?

[drummer101]

<?php include("inlcude/topmenu.php")[b];[/b] ?>
You forgot the semicolon 

[teng84]

<?php include("inlcude/topmenu.php")[b];[/b] ?>
You forgot the semicolon 

 

even if there is no semi colon or terminator it will work because that is the first and the last statement ...

[drummer101]

<?php include("inlcude/topmenu.php")[b];[/b] ?>
You forgot the semicolon

Okay I didn't know that In that case Ohdang888 what errors are you getting?

[ohdang888]

include

i use...

<?php include("/include/file.php")?>

but it won't work.... (the folder "include "is located in the same folder as this page.)

Try:

 

<?php include("include/file.php");?>

 

So without the leading /, and don't forget the ; in the end either.

As stated before, you don't need a ending ; if its the last line of code before the ?>

 

i use...

<?php include("/include/file.php")?>

but it won't work.... (the folder "include "is located in the same folder as this page.)

Try:

 

<?php include("include/file.php");?>

 

So without the leading /, and don't forget the ; in the end either.
