WampServer

Hi,

I'm pretty new to PHP and I thought i'd start using it to clean up my code. I thought a good place to start would be using includes. I have includes set up but they don't work locally on my WAMP server but they work in my live server. I have googled the problem and found no solution as yet. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Dave

how are you using include? You dont need to do anything for includes to work.

The normal way I assume. I'm calling <?php include("../php/includes/includes.php"; ?> in the page for the navigation of the page. The code for the nav is in the includes.php file. The file must be in the correct directory or it wouldn't work in live.

The page that works in LIVE is [davidmankellow.com]. Locally the navigation at the top simply isn't there. There are no errors in the log either. Should I change the include_path in both the php.ini files?

I've also tried different versions of PHP. Initially I had an older version locally to the one that my web server uses. Then I tried the same one that my web server uses and it didn't work, then I've downloaded the latest version and still the same outcome. I'm probably missing something obvious!

Anyone have any ideas where i'm going wrong?

if you include in html file, you need to enable it first, so make sure you have this line in main config file or htaccess file in that particular folder

#parsing PHP in html files on Win
#
AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

In the folder of the includes?

Cool, i'll try that and see how I fare!

no, I meant the root folder of the project you will use include, or in www folder if you want all projects use include

Cool, thanks!

DO I need to do anything with the include_path in the php.ini file(s)?

in apache make sure already enable "include_module"
in php, make sure to enable "allow url fopen" and "allow url include" if needed

i HAVE DONE ALL OF THE ABOVE AND STILL NOT INCLUDING PHP FILES....LIKE

INCLUDE"FILE_X.PHP";

Please show the actual code. Also where it is actually stored.

Also check that the file is actually called file_x.php and not file_x.php.txt
