PHP - Explicity Make File For Include Only

How do I include a file that is located two directories above the file that I want to include the file into?

My absolute hosting path is /home/content/52/8840652/html if this would be of any use. I'm not quite sure about the PHP include functions.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks!

I am using an inclue file on my layout.php page. 
I'd like to ignore the include file if the DB connection therein fails.
How should I do this?

My catalog uses a template file to list product details.  One part of it is responsible for putting these details into nifty little tabs:

<?php
$template = '{magictabs style=black_rounded, tabwidth=110px}';
   $template .= 'Technical Specifications';
   $template .= '::';
   $template .= '<table colspan="3"><tr><td>';
   $template .= $details;
   $template .= '</td></tr></table>';
   $template .= '||||';
?>


I don't want it to output $details, I want it to output a separate script instead.

How do I include this separate file as a variable? I want this:
<?php include('specs.php'); ?>
to replace the $details variable.

Hello,

I have a simply query that will if a simple two different things:

Code: [Select]
$cssyn = mysql_query("SELECT `12` FROM `12345` WHERE `abc` = '$_SESSION[number]'");
$cssy = mysql_fetch_row($cssyn);
   
if($cssy[0] == "YES") {
  echo "Yes";
} else {
  echo "No";
}   
The YES or NO result is stipulated earlier on so thats not the problem. But basically before I added the if statement simply would have echoed a table with all the rows etc from another query.

However I would like to give the user a choice between echoeing the results into one table or a neater two.

I have separated the code for the table and the queries into two separate files but say if I use: file_get_contents then it just prints the HTML and doesnt actually populate it will the queried parts.

Nor if I use something like include() then it wont echo anything, which it wouldnt unless called so what I am asking is: Is there a way to get EVERYTHING from the file if the answer is YES or the other file if NO.

Here is a section of php file A
include_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/PhpfileB.php')
$VALID_RATING_IDS = $Ratethese

Here is all of php file B
$Ratethese = "array("1", "2",);"


I need the var $VALID_RATING_IDS to = $Ratethese from file B

I am trying to include an array from php file B in php file A. Is this possible? How can i accomplish this?

Hi,

In my code

include_once "http://myserver.com/someFile.php" does not work but
include_once "/someFile.php" works

I NEED to be able to full URL. Anyone know what PHP setting I need to change to get this working for me?

Thanks

Hi all,

I'm at a dead-end here.  I have a php file that I can query to return an array containing a bunch of data about a job listing. I include and query it by calling it like so within another file on my site. 

Quick Notes:
The original file is in a different directory on my site than the page it's being included in. I have tried returning the array at the end of the script. I can print_r the array on the page I'm including the script on (so the URL path is correct).
If I go to this URL directly and print_r on the array, I see the entire array as expected.  Also, if I include the file on page 2 like I did above with print_r on the array in the original file, I see the array printed out on page 2.

Code: [Select]
include 'http://www.example.com/php/job-details.php?job=jobname&city=thecity';
However, if I do not print_r on the array in the original file and just include it on page 2, I cannot do anything with it and the array variable isn't found.

Is this a case of variable scope?  I'm so frustrated...

Here is the code I have in my original file:

Code: [Select]
<?
include('functions.php');

$jobtitlematch = $_GET["job"];
$jobcitymatch = $_GET["city"];
//echo $jobtitlematch;
//echo $jobcitymatch;

$url = 'http://somesite.com/something';
$xml = simplexml_load_file($url);

foreach($xml->job as $job) {
$jobtitle = makeURL((string)$job->title);
$jobcity = makeURL((string)$job->region);

if ($jobtitle == $jobtitlematch && $jobcity == $jobcitymatch) {
$jobdata[] = array(
Title => ((string)$job->title),
URL_Title => makeURL((string)$job->title),
Location => ((string)$job->region),
URL_Location => makeURL((string)$job->region),
Department => ((string)$job->department),
URL_Department => makeURL((string)$job->department),
Overview => ((string)$job->joboverview),
Responsibilities => ((string)$job->responsibilities),
Qualifications => ((string)$job->qualifications),
Keywords => ((string)$job->metakeywords)
);
}
return $jobdata;
//I have also tried return global $jobdata;
}
print_r($jobdata);
?>

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide...

hi php freaks,

Is there a way to parse an include file  through the php engine and  then place
the contents into a variable?

Code: [Select]
$x = include ($myfile);

I'm really embarrassed asking this..

I have two files.

config.php & program.php

config.php<php

$max_columns = 3;

?>


program.php<?php 

include ('config.php');

echo $max_columns;

?>



I can't get the script to echo anything.
I have tried...

$max_columns = '3';
$max_columns = "3";
include_once
include ("config.php");
include ('/path/to/file/config.php');
require
.....etc. etc.

Any thoughts?
PLEASE, I'm going nuts here.

Thanks for you patience with what must be a very trivial question for you guys

How to include root files from subdirectory in php?

I have tried include '../configure.php'; but got error.

Also tried include($DOCUMENT_ROOT."../configure.php"); but same result.

For example, I have "root/admin" directory, and can't connect (from "/admin" dir)  to the file configure.php which is in root. There are also other files to include.

I have an include file that is included in every page of my website. I'm using sessions and trying to streamline code.

The very first line of any page is my include file, and the very first thing in that file is:

Code: [Select]
<?php
session_start();
?>

The page doesn't register that a session was started. Do I have to have session_start() on every single page? Or is there a way to have it in my include file so it is automatically on every page for me?

Thank you!
