 Posted: Fri Oct 06, 2006 6:56 pm Post subject: PHP Includes |
 |
|
I am making a new website in PHP, and i have made a script that includes all of the files in one directory (so its easyer to edit things like mysql username and passwords) I have now come to add some more sub-directorys to the site and i get the message "Could not find the folder 'res/'" I have attempted to add ../ on to the begining of the name and that does not work.
I was wondering if there anything else i can do?

Use just "/folder/filename.ext" just / will always start in the root folder.

I have just tried that and PHP gives this error
| Quote: |
Warning: opendir(/res/) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: Invalid argument in D:\! Shroodoo\www\require_master.php on line 8 |

Try using a relative path instead. Here's an example:
| Code: | <?php
include("folder/filename.ext");
?> |

I have made a code to include all of the files in a folder and it will automatically include them, if they have a specific ending.

Remember that every link, including images, etc must all start with / for it to work. My site works this way and it works well.

That works well on the internet where the root folder is www.abyssunderground.co.uk/
But on the harddrive the root folder is C:\
What I do is create a variable called $basepath
I then put the full path to the folder in the variable
for you this would be C:\Program Files\Abyss Webserver\htdocs\
Then just add this to the start of all variables that require a file eg
| Code: | <?php
$basepath = "C:\\Program Files\\Abyss Webserver\\htdocs";
$file = $basepath ."\\includes\\include.txt";
print $file;
?> |
The output of this would be:
| Quote: |
C:\Program Files\Abyss Webserver\htdocs\includes\include.txt
|
Notice that in the variables I have used a double back-slash (\) this is because php uses the \ to escape characters. so you need to use a \ to escape a \
You may be able to use a forward-slash (/) instead of the back-slash.
If you are using relative paths then /includes/ would be C:\includes\ but includes/ would be the folder includes in the current folder
Does that help?
Edit:
In php there is the constant __FILE__ that holds the full path and filename of the file
you will then be able to use either dirname() and/or basename() to get the current directory to include extra files

abyssisthebest,
Either use the full path of the files to include (may be using the __FILE__ and dirname() functions to not hardcode the paths), or add the paths where include files may be in php.ini (include_path) as in:
| Code: | | include_path = ".;c:\mysite\includes" |
The directory paths are separated by a ; character. The . special directory means that include will also search for the included file relatively to the script directory.

I dont see why its not working for him. All I used was a simple / at the beginning of all filenames linked to like images would be /images/image.ext and links /dir/file.ext. My error page was the main reason I converted everything to include the / because it would only work in the root folder otherwise all the images would be missing in folders.
