including a php file gives me an error. Not when include() t

[Domenico]

Hi all!

When I try to include a php file like this:
&?
require &file.php&;
?&
I get this error:
Fatal error: Failed opening required file.php'
(include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /home/test/public_html/file.php on line 1


But when I do it like this:
&?
require &http://mydomain.com/file.php&;
?&
it works!

Why is this? I can't figure out why because on some clients it does work both ways.
What is configured wrong here?

Thank you,
Domenico

You may haven't defined &.& as include path. PHP willl only search in the local dir if it is defined as &include& path. If you can't access your php.ini then you can modify the .htaccess file of the dir where your php files exist. Add this line:

php_value include_path &/path/to/here&

I have access to php.ini but this is a server with more clients and they use php too.

Another client that uses include and/or require has no problem and it works great.

Let me rephrase my problem because I forgot to mention something.

What I want to use but doesn't work is:
&?
require &file.php?show=10&;
?&

This works now:
&?
require &file.php&;
?&

So why is this then?

&?
$show=10;
require &file.php&;
?&


This works!
Too bad the manual didn't mention this
