[SOLVED] URL file-acess errors with include ""; commands.

[hellonoko]

I am receiving this error:

 

Warning: include() [function.include]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in C:\www\idea\timer\timer.php on line 9

 

Line 9 of my code is:

	include "http://localhost/idea/dbconnect.php";

 

I checked my php.ini and allow_url_fopen is on.

allow_url_fopen = On

 

Am running WAMP.

 

Any ideas?

Is allow_url_include also on? Have you restarted the server if you've made changes to the php.ini?

[hellonoko]

allow_url_include

does not exist in my php.ini file.

 

I did not make any changed it was always set to ON.

 

And have restarted WAMP a couple times.

If you are including something like a database connection script using a http request and a URL - http://localhost/idea/dbconnect.php it won't work as that will only include any content that is output by dbconnect.php.

 

If you want code and variables to be included, you need to include files using a file system path and not a http request.

its probably easier to just use "../" commands...

 

those tell the script to look 1 folder back for it. put another one on and it will look back 2 directories...

did i explain that right?

[hellonoko]

I changed it to include "../dbconnect.php"; and it seems to work.

 

That is what it was originally so I dunno...
