PHP Include Error Not Findind the Path

PHP include file. Showing error file not found

You should change config.php to use an absolute path to functions.php. If you have PHP 5.3 or greater, do it like this:

include __DIR__.'/functions/functions.php';

If you are still using PHP 5.2 (or, god forbid, something earlier), you can do it this way:

$dir = dirname(__FILE__);
include $dir.'/functions/functions.php';

The __FILE__ magic constant always contains the value of the current PHP file name, so the dirname(__FILE__) call will give you the full filesystem path of the current script.

PHP Include Path Not Found

include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/wT/sys/background.php';

php include error not findind the path

Your path to that file is obviously incorrect. This commonly happens when you use a relative path to a file and then start placing files in different directories. You should use the full system path to the file to avoid this issue:

include("/path/from/root/to/inc/db.php"); 

A common thing to do is define a variable or constant that defines the root path to your web files. That way if it ever changes (i.e. you change hosts) you only need to change it in one place.

In your config file:

define('ROOT_PATH', '/path/from/root/to/');

In your PHP files;

include(ROOT_PATH . "inc/db.php"); 

Include cant find directory PHP

You need to fix your PHP paths

include("../models/tasks_model.php");

When you use this code:

include("/models/tasks_model.php");

It looks from the start of your disk because it an absolute path.

../ Goes back one folder from where your file is.

Warning on Include: Can't Find File In Correct Path?

You’re using an absolute path rather than a relative path.

PHP include not loading file

Check folder pemission

Check that the Apache user has access to the include folder.

Check file permissions

Check that the permissions on the files that you are including can be read and executed by the Apache user.

Check PHP settings

It could be caused by one of the following PHP settings:

open_basedir:
If this is set PHP won't be able to access any file outside of the specified directory (not even through a symbolic link).

safe mode:
If this is turned on restrictions might apply.

Make path absolute

Check that $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] is correctly set for your domain by using:

print $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]; // Add to top of you index.php file. 

Then change your includes to:

$_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . '/sub_folder/file_to_include';

Check for typos and spelling mistakes

Carefully check that what you think you have called the folder and what you are using to include it are spelt the same.

BTW: You can just use the following in your index.php file:

<?php
include('steamauth/steamauth.php');
include('steamauth/userinfo.php');

You also don't need to add the closing ?> at the end of the file - it's actually good practice not to.

include-paths in included file fail

The includes are evaluated from the location of the running script. When you include another file, you are essentially pulling the contents of that file into the running script at that place.

For files that should evaluate includes relative to the included file's location, you can do this:

/foo/baz.php

include(dirname(__FILE__) . '/bar.inc.php';
include(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../asdf/qwerty.inc.php'

From the documentation:

__FILE__ is The full path and filename of the file. If used inside an include, the name of the included file is returned. Since PHP 4.0.2, __FILE__ always contains an absolute path with symlinks resolved whereas in older versions it contained relative path under some circumstances.

dirname Given a string containing the path of a file or directory, this function will return the parent directory's path.

PHP include path error

personally your view pages are the first executed, such as index.php and view pages should always be in the root of your html.

so within index.php you can do:

define("BASE_PATH",str_replace("\\","/",dirname(__FILE__)));

so now BASE_PATH would be equal to: /Users/kristiannissen/Documents/php/simpletest

So if you want to phpdirectory in your include path you should use dirname() to go UP a directory:

//Get an array of your include paths
$include_parts = explode(PATH_SEPARATOR,get_include_path());

//Extend the paths
$include_parts[] = dirname(dirname(BASE_PATH)); //this is ../../

//recompile the paths and set them
set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR,$include_parts));

this is the safe way to accomplish what your trying to do.
