pk-uk Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Here is the code: $filename = '/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/sub.some_site.co.uk/httpdocs/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php' ; if (file_exists($filename)) { echo "The file $filename exists "; } else { echo "The file $filename does not exist "; } $ipath = get_include_path() ; echo "The include path is: $ipath " ; if ((require '/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/sub.some_site.co.uk/httpdocs/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php') == "OK" ) {require '/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/sub.some_site.co.uk/httpdocs/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php' ; echo "Include worked" ;} else {echo 'Failed to include' ; } and this is the output: The file /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/sub.some_site.co.uk/httpdocs/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php exists The include path is: .: Failed to include Any help greatly appreciated.

drummer101 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Have you set the include path in your php.ini? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/85457-solved-i-just-cannot-get-include-to-work/#findComment-436073 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken2k7 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 if ((require '/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/sub.some_site.co.uk/httpdocs/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php') == "OK" ) Would that be true? I don't think require returns a value.

psychowolvesbane Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Shouldn't $filename = '/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/sub.some_site.co.uk/httpdocs/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php' ; be: $filename = "/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/sub.some_site.co.uk/httpdocs/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php" ; ?? Isn't it "" quotes for text and ' ' for numbers right?

Isn't it "" quotes for text and ' ' for numbers right? No, string can be within single or double quotes, numbers (integers) should never be surrounded by quotes. require does not return the string "OK". Your test is faulty. Have you tried actually using the Smarty class your including? Given an absolute path like that there is no reason why require won't work.

drummer101 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Isn't it "" quotes for text and ' ' for numbers right? $strings don't parse correctly inside single quotes, however including them in double quotes, is slower to parse.

pk-uk Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Thanks guys - appreciate the help. (1) no, I didn't set the path name in php.ini - I don't have access and don't want to over-ride. (2) The == OK bit should work, I think. See example 4 here: http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php Nevertheless, given the reply above I removed it and have got it to work - sort of. By that I mean I have included a file, but now have problems with an include embedded in another include. However, this has made my head hurt and it's past midnight here. I'll investigate tomorrow. Thanks again for very prompt attention.

See example 4 here: http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php That example demonstrates the file being included returning the value "OK", not the call to include itself. .... which is what I'd thought I'd done: if ((require '/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/sub.some_site.co.uk/httpdocs/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php') == "OK" ) How should I have coded it? Is there a significance in my use of double, rather than single quotes? Retrospectively it seems that that's the only fundamental difference between my code and the example (barring I'm using require rather than include - though, the manual says they are fundamentally the same). I ask because I'm not that experienced in the use of PHP and often get into a muddle with the concepts Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/85457-solved-i-just-cannot-get-include-to-work/#findComment-436795 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Does the Smarty.class.php file have the line... return "OK"; in it? That is what that example demonstrates.
