Whenever I try to use includes I get this error.

Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/test) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home3/whatever:/tmp) in /home3/whatever/public_html/daniel/index.php on line 2

Warning: main(/test): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /home3/whatever/public_html/daniel/index.php on line 2

Warning: main(): Failed opening '/test' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home3/whatever/public_html/daniel/index.php on line 2

Here is the code I am using.

<?
include("/test");
?>

What is wrong!?!?! I am linking to /test, not /usr/lib/php whatever. This is driving me CRAZY! lol. Thanks .

[Mr. Matt]

if i am correct you can't include a directory, only a file within a director, so:

include("test.php");

is allowed

include("test/test.php");

is allowed

include("test");

is not allowed

Hope that helps

Hmm, I changed it to use /test/index.php, but I got the same error. Is that what you meant?

[Matthew.]

try...

include "test/index.php";

Without the preceeding /.

[rc69]

include "test";

That is allowed, becaue you could have a file simply named "test"

The reason you get the open_basedir() error is because you're trying to include something from your root directory. PHP isn't HTML, when you have that preceding slash, it looks deeper in the server than the public_html directory.

Well said.. Im still learning PHP. I find PHP Includes tricky to use too sometimes, but after a while it just clicks and you find yourself doing it as easy as you do HTML links <a href="pixel2life.com"> P2L</a> But yeah.. try www.phpfreaks.com - A lot of good stuff there my friend.

Ahhh, ok I got it using home3/whatever/public_html/test/index.php. Thanks!

[Aussiestinger]

You shouldn't need all that,

just test/index.php

or index.php if the file you are linking from is in /test/
