Hi all "im new here"
 
Hoping someone can help me with this peculiar problem.
 
I have a vps running Plesk (9.5.4) + PHP 5.3
 
For the domain I am working on, I have specified additional directories to the PHP include_path via vhost conf file.
 
One of those directories is outside of webroot, so is same level as httpdocs.
  eg:

:/var/www/vhosts/example.com/outer_includes

My scripts are able to include PHP files, using require, include etc from the directory added to PHP's include, so I know that its working perfectly.
 
Problem I have is that if I call a script with HTTPS, I get require_once fatals, as for some reason the includes no longer work.     --------------------------------------------------- eg:   include_me.php lives in a directory on same level as httpdocs, which has been added to PHP include directories.

/var/www/vhosts/example.com/outer_includes/include_me.php

script.php contains:

<?php

require_once('include_me.php');

?>

Calling:   http://www.example.com/script.php   This works as expected.   Calling:   https://www.example.com/script.php   This fails with fatal on the require_once() ---------------------------------------------------
 
I am self taught and fully expect this to be another hole in my knowledge but I can't seem to fill this one by asking Google.
 
Can anyone advise? Would be very grateful

I am having difficulties with my include_path directives in the php.ini file. Please click the link below to see a screencast of the problem:

http://screenr.com/vhY

I am very confused as sometimes the include_path does work and sometimes it doesn't work. Also am I allowed to have multiple include_path directives or do I need to include every path in a single include_path directive.

I'm just looking for some tips here. I am developing and selling an eccommerce shopping cart software package, and it has been received very well from the early adopters. There's just one small problem that prevents the software from being a truly out-of-the-box solution: the include path. Not all users have access to their php.ini file, and it's not always a php.ini file anyway. So this is something the installation is unable to set for the customer.

I'm using object-oriented PHP5 stuff, so I have a folder named "classes" with all the relevant stuff in there. I am unable to search for paths to the folder and hard-code those into source files (there are ajax calls and other fun stuff; hard to know the exact relation to the path).

I guess I could use set_include_path on the top of a bunch of files, but that is a small performance hit (and totally inelegant code). I could put the folder path in the database somewhere and query for it (and cache it so it's not a performance hit). None of this stuff seems good. The path seems like the best solution.

Unless you have better ideas....

trying to use a require but not working properly

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'get_extra.php?id=1' (include_path='.')

first thing set on page is.. page is profile.php?id=1
$userid = $_GET['id'];

code is:require "get_extra.php?id=$userid";

what can i do to fix this?

thanks

Hi all

I wonder if people can help me out here.

It's a "bespoke" vs "framework" question, so not sure its belongs in here, but I didn't want to post it in the ZEND group, as it may have many more "pro ZEND fans" who read it, and I wanted a general thought.

This is all based on the fact that I have a big project coming up and I want to know if I should be sticking with a custom job, or if something like ZEND is the way to go.

Basically I have been developing PHP for about 2 years now and I have always thought a custom site written from scratch was the best way to go, not only does it allow you to have the minimal code needed to run the site, therefore reducing load, space and bandwidth, but it also allows you to know exactly how the system works, I guess the downside is that you have to spend more time doing the coding.

But I have a few friends who use frameworks, ZEND has been coming up more and more, it's not really my ideal system to use as I prefer coding from scratch (not sure why),  but they swear by it, and always tell me its great, its winning awards and none of them code from scratch, one of them even quoted that it "will become the standard for development" - is this true?

Apart from being massively bulky and containing tons of files with scripts and functions that you might never ever use, what do people see as a downside to ZEND, If any?

Is it best to code from scratch, and if so, why? Or does using something like ZEND much better?

I guess if you always use ZEND, then you never really enhance your skill as a coder and never really learn anything new, plus I always think it's kind of cheeky using a pre-built system.

Is there a good argument that would say using ZEND is not really a good idea? Or is the general feeling toward ZEND being a good thing?

Surely if people know ZEND, they know how to play the security of the site to there advantage and therefore can break the security of other ZEND systems, or at least cause some hacks to a site.

Any thoughts would be great

Thanks everyone
