[FX.php List] PHP.ini question

Thu Nov 1 10:39:42 MDT 2007

John,

That's because of the fundamental difference between require and include,
the include is presumably still failing, however because it's only an
include the rest of the script will run... require says exactly that, it's
required so if it can't be found, stop...!

Have you tried 
  require_once("includes/wi_form_lib.php");

(note the removal of the initial /)

Can you tell us more about the structure of the files..? what is the name of
the file that is trying to include wi_form_lib.php...? and where is that
file actually located relative to the file that's doing the calling...??

Cheers
Steve

Steve,
When I replace:
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] ."/includes/wi_form_lib.php"
With
require_once("/includes/wi_form_lib.php"

It still stops but I did find out that it is the require_once that is not
working because include_once DOES NOT stop the script.
I am checking the two PHP.ini files.
Any more ideas?
John
