[SOLVED] 2 includes carrying layout but creates blankness

[wsantos]

Well if this url :

 

localhost/css/layout1.php

 

Loads... then what should the url be for the include?

 

Nope, thats what I have been saying... the html path to the file is different than the php path you have to define.

 

if your linking to the file in HTML then yes /css/layout1.php will be correct for all files no matter where they live. But in PHP a file in /folder1/folder2/file.php cannot use the same path as a file that lives in the root /file.php   

 

/file.php would find the include calling it the way you did, but /folder1/folder2/file.php will not find the path as it will start looking in /folder1/folder2/<begin looking here>

I concur

Ok well when i tried your method it's still the same

 

And i have error reporting on and no errors are shown. =/ Could it be my settings?

[chronister]

in layout1.php put an echo statement in there and see if that echo statement shows through.

 

I have had problems using XAMPP / WAMP with the error reporting not functioning correctly and when I add the ini_set line at the top of the page I get all my errors.

 

you may not have error reporting set to a high enough level. if you have E_ERROR set, you will not get any notices, or warnings which can break the script depending on what the problem is.

 

So I would try the ini_set method.

Whats the ini method?

 

Ok here is the code as it is now: (picture attached below also)

 

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/css/layout1.php');
?>
<center>
<?php
Echo 'test';
  ?>
</center>
<p> </p>
<?php
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/css/layout2.php');
?>

 

 

 

I have attached a picture to show you where the two layouts are

The ini_set method I referred to is this....

 

ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL); 

 

I have had issues with this way..

 

error_reporting(E_ALL);

Try it like this....

<?php
  ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL); 
  include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/css/layout1.php');
?>
   Testing .... .this text should be seen

<?php  include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/css/layout2.php');  ?>

 

and lemme know what you get.
