Include Troubles

skybomb0 · **Joined:** 2010-02-05 (03:00) **Posts:** 4

First off, I would like to say this script is very cool. But I am having trouble including the script in my website. Although I have installed the script successfully. I have tried the standard documentation and couldn't resolve any problems with that. When I go to /comments/include.php, I see a blank page (no errors). I am really new to html and stuff so I don't really know where to go from here. Thanks in advance.

Of course you don't see anything because that file doesn't contain any output. :-)

Did you follow the steps of this page?

I think I did it all right (at least I tried). My directory structure looks like this:

ROOT -> comments -> include.php
ROOT -> comments -> index.php

My index.php file looks like this:

Code:

<?php include './include.php'; ?>

<html>
   <head><link rel="stylesheet" href="/comments/template/default/style.css" type="text/css" /></head>
   <body><?php echo $c5t_output; ?></body>
</html>

My include.php file looks like this:

Code:

<?php

/** 
 * GentleSource Comment Script
 * 
 */


define('C5T_ROOT', '/www//comments/');
include C5T_ROOT . 'comment.php';

?>

I have navigated to both pages and they both have the same two error messages:

Code:

Warning: include(/www//comments/comment.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /www/110mb.com/s/k/y/b/o/m/b/0/skybomb0/htdocs/comments/include.php  on line 10

Code:

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/www//comments/comment.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /www/110mb.com/s/k/y/b/o/m/b/0/skybomb0/htdocs/comments/include.php  on line 10

As I said before, I am very new to HTML and have pretty much no experience in MYSQL or PHP.

The path in include.php is not correct.

Code:

define('C5T_ROOT', '/www//comments/');

Some servers output the wrong path. Could you check with following script what the environment variable DOCUMENT_ROOT is saying?

Code:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Under the Apache Environment section, I found Document_Root. It says Document_Root is "/www/".

That can't be correct. It should be much longer. Could you please ask your webhost where to find the correct DOCUMENT_ROOT and why it isn't displayed correctly.

Best regards

OK, did a little scrounging around the forums and came up with this bit of code:

Code:

<?php
$root = str_replace(str_replace($_SERVER['PATH_INFO'],'',ereg_replace('/+','/',$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])),'',$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);
print $root;
?>

The value returned on the webpage is "/www/110mb.com/s/k/y/b/o/m/b/0/skybomb0/htdocs". Is this what you were expecting?

Edit: I think that was it. I replaced this line:

Code:

define('C5T_ROOT', '/www//comments/');

with this line:

Code:

define('C5T_ROOT', '/www/110mb.com/s/k/y/b/o/m/b/0/skybomb0/htdocs/comments/');

It seems to work now.
