Hey, I made a PHP include file in a folder called ‘include bin’ with some images in it. And, I create a new folder named ‘my pages’. hen I created some php pages in it. Then in these PHP files, I included the first created Include PHP file located in the ‘include bin’. But when I tested my pages in the folder ‘my pages’, everything was ok. But, Image doesn’t show. I know its not the server’s or browser problem. I think it is directory problem, then do I need to place include file in each directory? or what? Please help me to show the images.

Please note that when including paths are relative to request root. If you include() from an included file, the path is relative to the first file opened, not the current file.

file1.php:

/includedfiles/file2.php:

HERE: file3.php should sit next to file1.php, not in ‘/includedfiles’ next to file2.php

Thanks a lot for this tutorial. Was wondering where I could use the include function. Your security risks really helped me!

Instead of getting confused with all the ../ you should use:
include $_SERVER['document_root'].’/includes/header.php’;

this is return can be used on any file in any directory without the need of editing.

I am working with a Dreamweaver php page trying to include a state specific file on a generic state page.
Based on the State abbreviation I want it to include the state file with the state data.
$row_getResorts['state'] is where the state abbrevaitions are in the database.
So for example Alabama’s data would be AL.php

Warning: include(.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in etc
2.

Warning: include(.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in etc
3.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO in etc
4.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO in etc
5.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ECHO in etc

Fatal error: Call to undefined function file_exsists()

This should be so easy. What am I doing wrong so I can get anyon eof these to work?
Thanks, AL

Yes, ../ is for a unix user. Try ..\\ if you feel more comfortable with DOS/Windows.

I am not getting any good results for the “include” PHP code here and I can’t figure it out.

This is the PHP code I put into my index.php page:

I made the two PHP pages in Notepad exactly as it is above and opened it straight in my browser and the links do not show at all.

For something apparently so simple, I am spending way too much time on learning PHP.

I also, after a lot of research, downloaded XAMPP, but I haven’t touched it yet because for an absolute beginner with PHP, it is basically learning Japanese.
