PHP - Includes Not Being Displayed On Page
I have a very simple page, where I use the include statement that includes my connection string. The connection string and a variables are not being passed to my test server - (WAMP). My include file is below $server = "servername"; $username = "username"; $password = ""; $database = "dbname"; $portNumber = 3308; $link = mysqli_connect($server,$username,$password,$database,$portNumber); if(!$link) { echo "cannot connet to the server"; } else { echo "This works"; } echo "Hi"; I am including this file with the following code:
include ("includes/connect.inc");
My site is not connecting to the database, and is not displaying "This works", or "Hi". Do you have any pointers on how to get this connect?
Similar Tutorialshow to get the domain name of a website which includes my includes file. The code would need to be put within my includes file so when any site includes it the file will get the sites domain. to $currentDomain i have tried using: echo file_get_contents() instead of includes but i get the same issue I get back the includes domain. then code i have tried (in the includes file): Code: [Select] $curdomain1= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; $pageUR1 = ereg_replace("/(.+)", "", $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].$_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]); $curdomain2 = str_replace("www.", "", $pageUR1); echo "<br> 1# Current Domain: ".$curdomain1; echo "<br> 2# Current Domain: ".$curdomain2; Hi all Recently designed a site using includes, but only realised when I'd almost finished the project that because the (e.g.) include("includes/header.html"); had the <head> information (titles, meta description, etc) every single page included the same information (by the way hope this makes sense) A way I thought of getting around this was to store each pages title and meta description in a database or in for example or maybe in a variables.php file. But I'm not sure whether this is the best way. I'm not a PHP expert so simple explainations would be very much appriciated. Look forward to hearing from you all. Adi I am trying to run a php code on my site but it kept on saying page cannot be found. Any idea why its saying that??? Hi all, I have a strange issue going on. It may be server related, but I don't know what to look for. I have a .php page with a few Virtual Includes: Code: [Select] <?php virtual ("nav.shtml"); ?> ...throughout it. I have also a parser that is displaying XML data in a table form. The parser works with the standard: Code: [Select] <?php include ('parser.php'); ?> ...however, if I have the Virtual above the include, the parser doesn't work. Or at least it will not "find the file" however, the file is there and it works ABOVE the virtual, displaying it fine... For example, this works: Code: [Select] <?php include ('parser.php'); ?> <?php virtual ('file.shtml'); ?> This doesn't: Code: [Select] <?php virtual ('file.shtml'); ?> <?php include ('parser.php'); ?> Any thoughts? Hi all, I want to get the current page name as displayed in the URL, not neccesarily the name of the PHP script that is running. E.g. I have a PHP file 'home.php' that contains iframes that contain other PHP files such as 'frame1.php'. What I want is a script that can be run from frame1.php but that will return 'home.php' as the current page (as displayed in the URL in the browser). How do I do this? Thanks! I am working on a Contact Form in my .php file. I have always worked with loose doctypes, however, today I am using strict. I have my php above my html, and none of the code runs. Instead, it just displays some of the Echos to the page (these aren't even called yet). Also, in my form, I have the following: <INPUT NAME="Name" SIZE="30" value="<?php echo $Name; ?>"> On the page inside the field, it is displaying: <?php echo $Name; ?> What is going on here and how can I fix this issue? Yes, the pages are .php Here is the doctype: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> Any input appreciated I need help making the uploaded image file name, that's chosen to be uploaded, be displayed on the html page with the path /upload/ added to the beginning of the displayed file name like so: ../upload/test.png Any help/improvements will be appreciated. <html> <head> <title>PHP Test</title> </head> <body> <?php if ($form_submitted == 'yes') { $allowedExts = array("gif", "jpeg", "jpg", "png"); $temp = explode(".", $_FILES["file"]["name"]); $extension = strtolower( end($temp) ); if ( $_FILES["file"]["size"] < 200000 && in_array($extension, $allowedExts) ) { if ($_FILES["file"]["error"]!= 0) { echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . "<br>"; } else { $length = 20; move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "upload/" . $newfilename ); $file_location = '<a href="http://../upload/' . $newfilename . '">' . $newfilename . '</a>'; } } else { echo "Invalid upload file"; } ?> <label for="file">Filename:</label> <input type="file" name="file" id="file"> </body> </html> Sorry for the long message but I need HELP!!! I'm somewhat familiar with HTML but very little in PHP, and even less in CSS. My eCommerce program is PHP based so I've had to learn to work with it. I did have someone else initially setup and create my website but over the past few years have taken it further myself. I've fiddled with some of it and looked up how to do certain things, such as have only one header and/or sidebar I can use for all pages. I use Dreamweaver CS4 and FTP with FileZilla. But I'm still new at this and have run into a couple of issues.
My webhost is GoDaddy, my website is MikiCat Designs and after fiddling for months, in March finally got my site to where I liked it. Unfortunately, I haven't kept it up. Anyway, I went there a couple of weeks ago and found that the PHP includes I'd had in the HTML files were no longer working. I get the error [an error occurred while processing this directive]. Weird. Worked fine before, now it doesn't. Called GoDaddy who says they didn't do anything . Uh huh. Now I know I didn't do anything since I haven't updated the site in 4 months! So, what could have caused this problem? I've had no idea how to fix it other than to change the index.html to index.php and, of course, do a minor repair on the include. Works fine and my header.php and leftsidebar.php show up again. Yay! Herein lies another problem. My header and sidebar link to other files some of which were HTML files. But those HTML files had the same header and sidebar issues as my INDEX file. This had to be fixed so I changed them to PHP. Still working on the changes. I deleted most of the HTML files from the server. So the links in my header and lefsidebar files now point to PHP files. e.g., gallery.html to gallery.php. When called on it's own, gallery.php shows up perfectly. But, no matter what I do, the header file still tries to load the HTML file!!! It's driving me crazy. What have I done wrong? I've deleted them both, refreshed, cleared cache and uploaded them again but I still get the same error. If you click on Gallery in the header, it tries to link gallery.html not gallery.php! Funny thing is, the leftsidebar now works perfectly and points to the proper PHP files. I'm completely confused now. I don't know why my header is insisting on trying to load the HTML page instead of the PHP. But here's my header code. Lines 41 and 42 work, lines 43, 44 and 45 do not. * Quietly banging head against wall while awaiting help. <html> <body> <!-- begin #header --> <!-- begin Facebook script --> <div id="fb-root"></div> <script>(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script> <!-- end Facebook script --> <div id="container"> <div id="headerright"> <form method="post" action="search.php"> <input type="hidden" name="posted" value="1"/> <input type="text" name="stext" size="16"/> <input type="submit" name="Search" value="Search"/> </form> </div> <div id="headerright1"> <form method="post" action="cart.php"> <input type="hidden" name="posted" value="1"/> <input type="image" name="Submit" src="images/cartgrn.gif" /> </form></div> <div id="headerright2"> <form method="post" action="clientlogin.php"> <input type="hidden" name="posted" value="2"/> <input type="image" name="Submit" src="images/login2.gif" /> </form> </div> <div id="header"> <div id="PLHIMYFUFUJCDiv" style="position:absolute; left:567px; top:82px; width:490px; z-index:50; white-space:nowrap; direction:ltr;"> <div id="PLHIMYFUFUJCMain" style="width:490px;height:40px"> <ul style="margin:0px;padding:0px;font:italic normal bold 14px Georgia,Times New Roman,Times,serif;"> <li style="float:left;list-style:none;text-align:center;width:98px;height:40px;background-image:url(images/homenav.gif);"><a href="http://www.mikicatdesigns.com" target="_self" title="MikiCat Designs" style="display:block;height:28px;padding:12px 0px 0px 0px;color:#00008b;text-decoration:none;">Home</a></li> <li style="float:left;list-style:none;text-align:center;width:98px;height:40px;background-image:url(images/homenav.gif);"><a href="http://www.mikicatdesigns.com/categories.php" target="_parent" title="Handmade jewelry and accessories " style="display:block;height:28px;padding:12px 0px 0px 0px;color:#00008b;text-decoration:none;">Products</a></li> <li style="float:left;list-style:none;text-align:center;width:98px;height:40px;background-image:url(images/homenav.gif);"><a href="http://www.mikicatdesigns.com/gallery.php" target="_parent" title="Handmade jewelry gallery of past lives" style="display:block;height:28px;padding:12px 0px 0px 0px;color:#00008b;text-decoration:none;">Gallery</a></li> <li style="float:left;list-style:none;text-align:center;width:98px;height:40px;background-image:url(images/homenav.gif);"><a href="http://www.mikicatdesigns.com/aboutmikicatdesigns.php" target="_parent" title="Learn about MikiCat Designs" style="display:block;height:28px;padding:12px 0px 0px 0px;color:#00008b;text-decoration:none;">About Us</a></li> <li style="float:left;list-style:none;text-align:center;width:98px;height:40px;background-image:url(images/homenav.gif);"><a href="http://www.mikicatdesigns.com/contactmikicatdesigns.php" target="_parent" title="Contact MikiCat Designs" style="display:block;height:28px;padding:12px 0px 0px 0px;color:#00008b;text-decoration:none;">Contact Us</a></li> </ul></div><div id="PLHIMYFUFUJCLevel2" style="float:left;width:490px;height:40px;"></div> <script type="text/javascript" src="Pluginlab/Scripts/PLHIM.js">/* PLHIMMenu script ID:PLHIMYFUFUJC */</script> </div> <!-- end #header --> I did some googling and it seems you cannot include a file with an anchor: i.e include "hello.php#foo"; How do you guys go back to the middle of the page of an included file? Do you just not include files with anchors? I wanted to run my entire site inside index.php and just use includes to diplay the appropriate file, but I also need anchors to go to the middle of the page on some of those files. Ok, I am sure this is really simple for all of you, but I have very little experience with php. I haven't sat down to learn php yet, but I will when I have more free time. In the meantime I have the following issue: The site is http://astoryaday.fromyay.com/ I have all the stories in the /stories/ directory, all named 20110504.html, 201105005.html, etc. Every day I write another story, I name it following that pattern, and drop it into the /stories/ folder. I only want the newest story displayed on the page. So I wrote a little script that is: Code: [Select] <?php $files = glob("stories/*.html"); sort($files); $newest = array_pop($files); include($newest); ?> Now, what I want to do, is in the footer, put an Archive that will look like this: -2012 --January ---03 ---02 ---01 -2011 --December ---31 ---30 And upon clicking on the dates, the story from that day will replace the story that is currently included. Any help of how to get this done would be appreciated! Thanks Hey everyone, I am trying to secure php includes and I wrote the following lines: Code: [Select] <?php $dir=scandir('.'); if (in_array('copyright.php',$dir)) { include('copyright.php'); } else { echo 'That page could not be found'; } ?> Is this code secure enough, can anyone help me improve it? Thanks in advance. Hi all My site is build using php includes. the index.php file contains code like <?php if(@$_GET['page'] == "web-design"){ include("includes/web-design.php"); } else if(@$_GET['page'] == "hosting"){ include("includes/hosting.php"); } else { include("includes/home.php"); } ?> I have created a sub domain blog.maplewebdesign.co.uk and a sub dircetory named blog. The link to this part of my site doesn't use includes, I want it to link directly to that sub directories index.php page. This works fine, but then when I click on a different link anywhere on the site my url is as follows www.maplewebdesign.co.uk/blog/index.php?page=home For some reason it is keeping the blog/ in the URL If you want to see go to http://www.maplewebdesign.co.uk/blog/ then click on a differnt link and check out the URL What am I doing wrong? Thanks Adi Hi, Im pretty much self taught when it comes to php, never read any books just picked things up as i go, and im looking for some advice on how i build my pages as i believe im not approaching it correctly. Basically i build an index.php, this contains my header, footer, and any menus i may have, then for my content pages, in this case products, contact, about us i use use an include so these content pages just have content. Now by doing this my address bar looks like this index.php?location=contact.php for the sake of google and search results and so on, am i limiting my ability to be found by not using a differant file for each page? should i include a header, footer, menu etc within my content pages rather than the other way around? Thanks in advance for any advice. If one file includes another, do I need to start a session in each, or does the included file "inherit" the session? script_1.php // Initialize Session. session_start(); // Require Function require_once('script_2.php'); script_2.php // Initialize Session. session_start(); DO I NEED THIS HERE????????? if ($_SESSION['loggedIn'] == TRUE){ do something } Debbie Hey people! I'm currently working on an free API that i will be sharing with the web community in the next few months and had a question that much of this project hinges upon: Is there a way to allow a remote include of one php file from my server? Case: I am allowing 2 ways for users to access the APi: 1. Using AJAX or cURL accessing a REST method over POST or GET (This part is already functional) 2. Allowing an include of the API Library I'm not sure if it will be completely opensource yet, only free, this is why I don't want to simply provide the source files to users. Example of what I would like to do: <?php include('http://mysite.com/myAPI/classLib.php'); ?> Anybody have a solution for that?? Thanks in advance, E hi This problem is the most strange thing that i seen in the last times. this code works Code: [Select] <?php function conecta () { $host = "localhost"; $senha = "vertrigo"; $login = "xxx"; $database = "emprego"; $conexao = mysql_connect($host,$login,$senha) or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db($database,$conexao)or die; } conecta (); //more ?> but this doesn't work Code: [Select] <?php require("includes/f_banco.php"); conecta (); ?> I never seen something like that. Any ideia? the paths are correct, the bd is correct and the query works when i put the function conecta() directly in the php file. Thanks Sorry if this is a stupid question http://www.dinksoftware.com/fig/index.php looks as it should with the php includes working. However if you go to http://www.dinksoftware.com/fig or http://www.dinksoftware.com/fig/ the php includes don't work for some reason. index.php Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); ?> <?php include('header.php'); ?> <?php include('topMenu.php'); ?> <?php include('sidenav.php'); ?> <div id="content"> <h3>Introducing 'The Business Sim'!</h3> <?php $errorMessage1 = $_SESSION['errorMessage1']; echo("$errorMessage1 <p>"); $_SESSION['errorMessage1'] = ""; ?> The Business Sim is an online, free to play educational game currently under development. <strong>The first round of gameplay will commence in Q1, 2011. </strong><br /> <p>Have gameplay ideas/suggestions or any other comments? Want to help mould the game? </p> <br/> <?php include('footer.php'); ?> </div> </body> </html> header.php part (no other includes or anything in this) Code: [Select] <a href="index.php"><img src="header.png" alt="The Business Sim" width="550" height="100" border="0"/></a> How do I fix this? I want http://www.dinksoftware.com/fig and http://www.dinksoftware.com/fig/ to work like it does when you go/fig/index.php etc. Hi Guys, im really hoping one of you php guru's can shed some light on this as its being bugging me for months... Im trying you access a php include, in a page 1 directory deep into a site (say one down from the index.php) - with no luck. My includes are in a folder that is on the same level as the index.php file for the website. Iv tried using this way: <? include("../includes/footer.php"); ?> And this way: <?php include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "includes/footer.php"; ?> It works locally (using MAMP), but not live on the net. Im getting this error: Warning: main() [function.main]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/ext/default/includes/footer.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (.:/tmp) in /ext/f/fo/fourthelement.com/html/sita/resources/members_area.php on line 53 Warning: main(/ext/default/includes/footer.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /ext/f/fo/fourthelement.com/html/sita/resources/members_area.php on line 53 Warning: main() [function.include]: Failed opening '/ext/default/includes/footer.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /ext/f/fo/fourthelement.com/html/sita/resources/members_area.php on line 53 Really appreciate anyone who has a few minutes to look at this. Cheers Guys Mike OK I'm 98% new to PHP. I'm trying to do my own website and my idea will work something like this: index.php ____________________ Header + Nav {PHP INCLUDE} Footer ____________________ The content will reside in another *.php page If you look at www.avlscotland.com/test 'temporary' It loads default.php when you go to the page which is perfect. I have it working in basic form although only the hyperlinks HOME - ABOUT AVL - DEAD LINK are active at this moment. So it works this way with everything in the same directory, but I want it to load the content from a subdirectory /test/pages/content.php This is the PHP code I am using <?php // Check if page has been requested if (!isset($_GET['content'])) { // Page has not been requested, show default page $content = 'default.php'; } else { // Page has been requested, validate page exists, show page $content = $_GET['content'].'.php'; } // End if page has been requested // Check to see if page exists if (file_exists($content)) { // Page exists // Show page include("$content"); } else { // Page doesn't exist echo '<br>'; echo '<br>'; echo '<br>'; echo 'Sorry, the page that you are trying to access does not exist.<br>'; echo 'Please return to <a href="http://www.avlscotland.com/test/index.php">AVL Scotland</a><br>'; echo '<br>'; echo 'Thank you.<br>'; } // End if page exists ?> I'm accessing the pages using links like <a class="menuactive" href="test/index.php?content=avl">Home</a> What I'm struggling to do is make the PHP look for the content files in a sub-directory. Look forward to any help you can offer. Thanks, Ross Hello everybody, I have a question about changing variables. In a website template I've created, I would like to only include some code from another file into the page if the variable changes. Example: Code: [Select] <?php $load_page1 = 0; ?> <a href="index.php#!/page1" onClick="<?php $load_page1 = 1; ?>">Page 1</a> <?php if($load_page1 == 1) { include('pages/page1.php'); } ?> The problem I'm having is Code: [Select] onClick="<?php $load_page1 = 1; ?>" always sets the variable to "1" even if not clicked. So the question is, how would I make it so the default is "0" and only after clicking the link, the variable is set to "1" and then the new code from the other file is included into the page. Please let me know if I need to clarify anything and thanks for any help in advance. |
