PHP - How To Get The Name Of The File Including A File From The 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?

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

Hello:

I have this code in an included file:
myNav.php
Code: [Select]
function spLeftMenu() {
$spLeftMenu =
"
<p>
<div id=\"myLeftNavPaper\">
<img src=\"images/sidePaperTop.png\" alt=\"\" />

<div id=\"myLeftNavPaper2\">

echo \". $mySideBarPageData .\"

</div>

<img src=\"images/sidePaperBottom.png\" alt=\"\" />

</p>

";
return $spLeftMenu;
}

I can not get:
Code: [Select]
echo \". $mySideBarPageData .\"

To display the results on this page:
Page.php

<html>
...

<?php echo spLeftMenu(); ?>

...
</html>


What am I missing ??

Hi everyone.... I have a simple search.php And I want to include that in my html output page.  I tried using

<?php
   include ('search.php');
?> 

Below is my HTML code which is part of a php file...what am I doing wrong here?

Code: [Select]
// Final Output


echo <<<__HTML_END
 
<html>

<head>

<title>Photography</title>

</head>

<body>

<table width='100%' border='0' align='center' style='width: 100%;'>

$result_final 

<?php include("search.php");?>

</table>

</body>

</html>

__HTML_END;

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!
