PHP Include errors

if i take that page and include it in our cms like the following i get that error.

<div>
<?php include '../community/cforumstats.php'; ?>
</div>

or if i add the code directly into the page like:

<div>
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

// # DEFINE IMPORTANT CONSTANTS
define('NO_REGISTER_GLOBALS', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'cforumstats');

// # REQUIRE BACK-END
$curdir = getcwd();
chdir('/home/***/public_html/community');
require_once('global.php');

// # START MAIN SCRIPT
$navbits = array();
eval('print_output("' . fetch_template('cforumstats') . '");');
chdir($curdir);
?>
</div>


for an update, i saw in the german vbulletin forum someone had the same problem but i can't read german so i don't know if it was solved or not. it looked like they were talking about cookeis.

You should ask at the support thread/site of your CMS.

PHP Code:

<?php include '../community/cforumstats.php'; ?>

That is your answer, you have to remove the "../". PHP does not call directories like HTML or other languages do. Remove that small snippet and put your full root path and it should work . Or at least that is my understanding, I remember when I transferred from HTML to PHP I was baffled at why my images and whatnot were not being displayed properly. I was told it was due to the ../ not moving directories as it does with HTML.

Should look like:

PHP Code:

<? include "/home/***/public_html/community/cforumstats.php';" ?>

they'll tell me it's not their code causing the problem. i'll give it a try though.

Which error(s) are you getting specifically? The same few on the first page?

[testbot]

first, thanks for everyone's replies so far. some boards will just ignore you or just tell you to move on. i appreciate everyone's input so far.

i get this error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function query_first_slave() on a non-object in /home/***/public_html/community/includes/functions.php on line 1368

[Dismounted]

That error usually occurs when vBulletin's global.php is included inside of a function.

[testbot]

so since it's not inside a function withing my cforumstats.php file you think the cms is executing a function to include that code maybe? did that make sense?

actually, it doesn't seem to work anywhere outside the forum directory. i don't get any errors when i try outside the cms but the page just won't load. i think it might have to do with the 'Product' i'm trying to call.
$cybtopstats == Cyb - Advanced Forum Statistics.

not sure why the developer keeps ignoring my questions when it says in the description that what i'm trying to do can be done and that it's a supported Mod.

Try adding this to the top of your headinclude template:

<base href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum" />

i seem to have this working anywhere outside the forum directory now.

it still won't work in the only place i need it though and that's the cms.

i'm guessing the cms is forcing it to be a nested function. is there anyway to get around the nested function thing?

thanks for stickin with me on this.
