Hi all!
When I try to include a php file like this:
<?
require "file.php";
?>
I get this error:
Fatal error: Failed opening required file.php'
(include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /home/test/public_html/file.php on line 1
But when I do it like this:
<?
require "http://mydomain.com/file.php";
?>
it works!
Why is this? I can't figure out why because on some clients it does work both ways.
What is configured wrong here?
Thank you,
Domenico

<?
require "file.php";
?>
Not that I'm, a php expert, but try this...
<?
require ('file.php');
?>
Well... it works fine for me.... :)
hope this helps a little....

Check your php.ini file and make sure that "include_path" has no entry next to it.

Nope, I allready tried that one :(
It gives me the same error.
Anyone else?

Before there was .:/usr/share/php behind it but I removed it and restarted apache and now the error is:
Fatal error: Failed opening required 'd_projects.php?show=10' (include_path='') in /home/test/public_html/file.php on line 2

um... are you sure the file exists in the same dir as the script??

Yes, it's in the same dir.

Let me rephrase my problem because I forgot to mention something.
What I want to use but doesn't work is:
<?
require "file.php?show=10";
?>
This works now:
<?
require "file.php";
?>
So why is this then?

Hi,
You cannot include/require a file with any parameters passed to it directly as php looks for a file called "file.php?show=10" rather than just "file.php".
If show is not already defined in your script change it to the following:
<?
$show=10;
require "file.php";
?>
And it will be included correctly as file.php can see the variable as it is already defined in the script, note this only works for direct includes and not using includes via http:// for which you should use:
<?
require "http://mydomain.com/file.php?show=10";
?>

Thanks for telling Jamesl!
I thought of this but didn't tried it yet, stupid me :bawling:
Anyways, this is what the manual says:
- To include the top downloaders, sorted by number of reviews and rating (greatest to least), insert this where you would like the top downloaders to appear: <? require "d_top.php?show=xx"; ?> Replace "xx" with the number of top "downloaders" to display.
hehehe, someone has to go back to school then
:D
