Re: [PHP] Include Bug?
I would recommend using your .htaccess file, or ini_set, or something else to set your include_path variable Thanks Joel, that worked nicely. Steven J.

I would recommend using your .htaccess file, or ini_set, or something
else to set your include_path variable to contain
'/usr/home/sites/www.walkereffects.com/' or something like that. Your
include() call can then just look like:
and it'll work from anywhere, regardless of where the file that's doing
the including is located [1].
As a bonus, if you ever change hosts, or your host re-organizes its
directory structure, and all of your includes rely on the include_path,
simply re-set include_path, and your site works again.

[1] Of course, the order of directories in your include_path matters,
too. If it contains '.:/usr/home/sites/www.walkereffects.com/', then a
file matching in the current working directory will take precedence over
the one in your site root. So keep that in mind...

I get it... so instead I should use:
include("/usr/home/sites/www.walkereffects.com/web/test/include.php")

Hello,
I have found troubling behavior using include() that looks like a bug.
When I specify an include file by a full path name versus a relative
path, PHP acts as though it has included the file, but variable and
constant definitions in the include file are not coming through. My
server is running PHP 4.3.1.
Here is an example:
I created a file called 'include.php', with the following contents:
"; //should print -only- if included,
right?
$testVar = "test succeeded!";
?>
Then I created 'test.php', with the following contents:
$testVar = "not defined"; //include.php should redefine this as
'test
succeeded!'
//include("http://www.walkereffects.com/test/include.php";); // full
path
include("include.php"); // relative path
echo $testVar;
?>
Using the relative path version of include outputs:
include.php opened
test succeeded!
And using the full path results in:
include.php opened
not defined
This doesn't seem right! Any ideas how I can work around this?

[PHP] Include Bug?
Hello,
I have found troubling behavior using include() that looks like a bug.
When I specify an include file by a full path name versus a relative
path, PHP acts as though it has included the file, but variable and
constant definitions in the include file are not coming through. My
server is running PHP 4.3.1.
Here is an example:
I created a file called 'include.php', with the following contents:
echo "include.php opened "; //should print -only- if included,
right?
$testVar = "test succeeded!";
?>
Then I created 'test.php', with the following contents:
$testVar = "not defined"; //include.php should redefine this as 'test
succeeded!'
//include("http://www.walkereffects.com/test/include.php";); // full
path
include("include.php"); // relative path
echo $testVar;
?>
Using the relative path version of include outputs:

And using the full path results in:
include.php opened
not defined
