php include file using document root

[funkymunky20079]

Hi,

I'm trying to include a file using php using the document root ($DOCUMENT_ROOT) method and I'm receiving the following error:

Warning: include_once(/home/adam1234/public_html/resources/libraries/facebook/fbmain.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/adam1234/public_html/index.php on line 3

Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home/adam1234/public_html/resources/libraries/facebook/fbmain.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/adam1234/public_html/index.php on line 3


I have also tried using a preceding backslash [the php is: include_once('/resources/config.php') ] however this returns the following error:

Warning: require_once(/resources/config.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/adam1234/public_html/index.php on line 2

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/resources/config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/adam1234/public_html/index.php on line 2


The only way I can seem to get includes to work is using relative paths which will prove impractical as I continue to develop the site to a large scale.

Is there anyway I get get root path includes to work? I tried looking in phpinfo() however it has been disabled.

Many thanks,
Adam Bedford

Where exactly is the file you are including located?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I have actually sorted the issue now, it seems that I was confusing myself by having similarly named files in different folders and so there wasnt actually a PHP error, just a human one!

Thanks for the help!
