Re: ini_set('include_path') and require_once()

The error message hints that something is wrong with your include path. "(include_path='.:..')" Also, when you say ini_set("include_path", "../../php") you are overwriting the entire include path rather than appending your path to it. Try this: <?php echo get_include_path(); set_include_path(get_include_path() . ':/full/path/to/your/includes'); echo get_include_path(); ?> I would use the full system path rather than a relative path. Using "echo get_include_path()" should give you an idea what's going on. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.set-include-path.php Jim Grill ----- Original Message ----- From: "BigSmoke" <bigsmoke@nodiscipline.net> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2004 6:56 AM Subject: [PHP] ini_set('include_path') and require_once() > Hi, > > In the following code, require_once() borks, complaining: > "Failed opening required 'includes/companies.php' > (include_path='.:..')" > > """ > ini_set("include_path", "../../php"); > > require_once('includes/common.php'); > require_once('includes/validate.php'); > require_once('includes/company.php'); > require_once('includes/companies.php'); > """ > > The strange thing is: I have other code where this same method _does_ > appear to work.
