#21853 [Opn]: includes stopped working

ID: 21853 Updated by: magnus@php.net Reported By: gol1689@hotmail.com Status: Open Bug Type: *Directory/Filesystem functions Operating System: Windows XP PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: When you use include("/some/path"); you are using the absolute path in the file system, not the relative path to your webroot. With your example the file have to be located in X:\includes\login_code.php where X is the drive where your webroot is located. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-23 19:53:08] gol1689@hotmail.com Since I upgraded to PHP 4.3, all of the includes on my Web sites quite working (hundereds of them). I've tried poking around in the php/ini file; modifying include_path and what not and finally had to give up and go back to last 4.2 version. Here is an example of what does not work (I get a warning saying that it cannot find the file). <?php include('/includes/login_code.php'); ?> If I modify this so that the link to relative to the current document it works fine. <?php include('includes/login_code.php'); ?> What gives? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21853&edit=1
