If I understood your file structure correctly your includes should be(I couldn't tell if database.inc.php was in
MyWebsite folder or in one folder up)
Code: Select all
include("../database.inc.php");
include("../MyWebsite/functions.inc.php");
Use
require instead of
include.
Also it is a better practice to use absolute paths. For example, define a constant e.g . BASE_PATH in a file that is included everywhere(e.g. config.inc.php), and use it in all you require and include statements
Code: Select all
require(BASE_PATH . 'MyWebsite/functions.inc.php');

Sorrrryyyyyyyyyyy,the file structure is like
Abc (main directory under htdocs)
|_ Myprojects(folder)
| |_Myfiles(folder)
| -info.php(main file)
|_ MyWebsite(folder)
- functions.inc.php(file)
- database.inc.php (File)
I am sorry for wrong information .I tried to set up the base path but didi not got success .]
When a put
include(../../MyWebsite/function.inc.php)
i got the rest opf the result on my page like current date ,but it didnot show the user name s only.
and when i put
include(
http://localhost/.....................)
whole path i got fatal error .
i didnt get where i am going wrong????

1. are you sure you did like EverLearning showed you?
Code: Select all
require(BASE_PATH . 'MyWebsite/functions.inc.php');
2. could you post an image of your website tree?

Which file does the missing function live in? Once you know that, include that file.

Just spoted this. In functions.inc.php you're using short tags
<? ?> instead of full
<?php ?> tags. If you're on PHP5
short_open_tag option is off by default(its on in PHP4, but can be disabled).
If this option is off, then your functions.inc.php isn't parsed at all, and thats why you get

Always use the
<?php ?>. I guess your filepaths were OK.
