Re: More include issues

If I put an echo into my included file, the echo displays on the screen. But no results are returned. However, if I copy the data from my include file and paste it directly into my page, I get the results.

Ok, so that's confirmed that the include file is being included properly. I think we need to see the code you're using to get the data before we can help any more. -Stut

empty drop down and none of the rest of my form is displayed.

    Try outputting something in the include file. If that gets displayed
    then the problem is most likely that the code you have to get the
    dropdown contents is not returning anything.

Okay, I'm stumped!!! I have all of my database connection info in a file:

    connection.php

This info is stored in a folder: Connections Example of connection.php: <?php $connection = mssql_pconnect('SERVER','user','password') or die

('server

connection failed'); $database = mssql_select_db("my_database", $connection) or die

    ('DB

selection failed'); ?> I am trying to include the connection.php file in all of my

    pages so I

don't have to hard code the info into every page. But, my data never returns because the include apparently is not

working.

If I remove the include and hard code the info, it works. Here is an example of the include statement I am using on my

    pages.

<?php include '../../Connections/connection.php'; ?> The Connections folder is two level above my form

    page.  Example file

structure below. ROOT Connections

        connection.php

Submit

       Current_Forms
            My_Form.php

I've tried ../../../Connections/connection.php, ../../Connections/connection.php,

    ../Connections/connection.php but

nothing works. Any ideas what I am doing wrong???

Set your error_reporting to E_ALL. and set display_errors to On Then you should be able to see all the errors. Because, without the error messages, we are not going to be able

    to help

you. Might I recommend to use include_once instead. This way, it

    will only

create one connection -- Jim Lucas "Some men are born to greatness, some achieve greatness,
