PHP - How Can I Display This From An Included File ??

How can i find out parent (including) file of included file?
Lets imagine that we want to for example auto_prepend file to each file on our server that would write out the name of file  its being executed. I know, i can use PHP_SELF but what if i want to write name of file which is already included?

I have a web page and i want on it show its name even if it was included, but not the included page itself is showing name but auto_prepend file to each php file, its duty of this auto_prepend_file to write it out i dont want myself to echo it on each page? do you feel me?

how to get the name of the file including a file from the included file,

This one has me mixed up a bit.. I am trying to record site activity information from a common.php file using a user object. But since the file is included into different php files based on different situations I need a dynamic way of finding the file name that is including it. I could be over complicating things but right now this seems like the best solution other wise I'll have to rewrite the code on every page i write. Is there a function for doing this? Or if someone gets what I'm trying to do if they could point me to the direction of some more information on it.

Thanks.

I understand that this is a header error but i still do not know how to fix it.
I am trying to create a login box that is in the top right corner of my site. Once the user uses it to log in they need to be redirected to the account page. i include the login_box.php file in the appropriate div. however the file uses header("Location: account.php"); to redirect the user. because this file is included after the header i receive Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\index.php:17) in C:\xampp\htdocs\layout_inc\login_box.php on line 76
What would be the correct way to do this. My code is bellow. Thank you in advance

Hi,
My issue here is that I cant get my if/else statement to work on my secondary page. I include my secondary page (fine.php) from my index page. However, I have an if/else statement in fine.php that keeps reverting back to the index.php and, therefore, outputs the else statement (404.php)

here is the if/else on index.php (these links work fine):

<?php
if($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']=='/index.php' || $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']=='')
{
include 'port.php';
}

elseif (isset($_GET['pos'])){
include 'pos.php';
}

elseif (isset($_GET['web'])){
include 'web.php';
}

elseif (isset($_GET['fine'])){
include 'fine.php';
}

        else {include '404.php';}






here is the if/else on my secondary page (fine.php). These links are supposed to alert the if/else in the next table cell. However, they instead alert the if/else in index.php.


<td><br/>
<a href="?backset"><img src="fine/thumbs/x-backset.jpg" border="0"></a><br/><br/> 
<a href="?backside"><img src="fine/thumbs/x-backside.jpg" border="0"></a><br/><br/> 
<a href="?bannerprint"><img src="fine/thumbs/x-bannerprint.jpg" border="0"></a><br/><br/> 
<a href="?chopu"><img src="fine/thumbs/x-chopu.jpg" border="0"></a><br/><br/> 
</td>
<td><br/>
<div id="DivPiece" align="left">
<?PHP 

if (isset($_GET['backset'])){
       include 'fine/backset.php';
}

elseif (isset($_GET['backside'])){
     include 'fine/backside.php';
}

elseif (isset($_GET['bannerprint'])){
     include 'fine/bannerprint.php';
}

elseif (isset($_GET['chopu'])){
include 'fine/chopu.php';
}

?>
</div>
</td>



How can I get the links on the secondary page to only alert the if/else statement on that page, and BLOCK the if/else statement on index.php from seeing them? I still want to use the query string though.

Thanks!

Say I have...

Code: [Select]
<?
echo("do something");
include("include_file.php");
echo("do something else");
?>

include_file.php
Code: [Select]
<?
$a_$string = "a string";
echo($a_string);
?>

I have put an error in the include_file.php  an extra $ in the variable name.

The first script would kick up an error that there is a problem with file   include_file.php  as line 3 or what ever the line may be.

How can I have it so I can choose what the error message is, say a cryptic code and the line number without having the file names show as this is showing up my hidden includes folder and the file name which means that someone may try to visit this page alone and this can cause security issues.

Adding in extra lines to every file to see if it is being use correctly a bit like sessions is not an option although I have looked at it as I have houndreds of files to alter in this case.


I have just tried this instead of the top script but I does not show the secret code on error
Code: [Select]
<?
echo("top");
@include("dummy.php") or die("secreterrorcode123");
echo("bottom");
?>
