Including Global.php

[MamboCube]

when i include this on a non vb page i get this error message

Warning: main(./includes/init.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /public_html/forum/global.php on line 18

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './includes/init.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /public_html/forum/global.php on line 18

anyone know what this means and how i can fix it?

Well, it means exactly that what the error does say:
./includes/init.php was not found in ., /usr/lib/php or /usr/local/lib/php when it was called in /public_html/forum/global.php in line 18

Solution:
chdir('/public_html/forum'); <-- Is this really the full path?

[MamboCube]

thnx for the quick reply kirby

the full path is /home/*****/public_html/forum

also where do i put chdir('/public_html/forum');

i put it under require global but then i get this error message

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './includes/init.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/*****/public_html/forum/global.php on line 18

i put the full path in aswell

any ideas?

[Andreas]

You must but it above global.php and use the full path

[MamboCube]

like this?

chdir('home/*****/public_html/forum/');
require_once('home/*****/public_html/forum/global.php);

[Andreas]

Not quite ...


chdir('/path/to/forum');
require_once('./global.php');

[MamboCube]

i get this error

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'home/*****/public_html/forum/global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/*****/public_html/index.php on line 3

With this Code?

[MamboCube]

sorry no i didnt see that post

but when i put

chdir('home/*****/public_html/forum');
require_once('./global.php');

i get this message

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/*****/public_html/index.php on line 3

[Andreas]

It's /home/whatever/public_html/forum, not home/whatever/public_html/forum

[MamboCube]

k i put that but then i get this message

Warning: main(./includes/init.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/*****/public_html/forum/global.php on line 18

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './includes/init.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/*****/public_html/forum/global.php on line 18

i then tried putting chdir('/home/*****/public_html/forum'); into global.php and the page loaded fine with no error messages but none of the vbphrases work lol

-----------------------------------------------------------------

should i not use the chdir in global.php?
