Newbie: Trouble w/ O'Reilly example
I am trying to work with example code from "Programming PHP" chapter
8. The example is the "Business Listing" application. All the files
are in the same directory. When I open "admin.php" in my browser from
[url]http://127.0.0.1/~myusername/admin.php[/url], I get the following message:
Fatal error: Failed opening required 'db_login.php'
(include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in /Users/brianl/Sites/admin.php on
line 4
I even tried putting the db_login.php in /usr/lib/php, but no luck. I
thought that PHP started looking for included files in the current
directory, anyway.
Here's the beginning of "admin.php" :
<html>
<head>
<?php
require_once('db_login.inc');
?>
It seems pretty straightforward...I don't get it.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Brian

For it to be parsed as PHP it needs to have that PHP extension. Try naming
it "db_login.inc.php". Also, sticking it in /usr/lib/php won't do anything
from what I can tell. Stick it in the same directory as "admin.php" (which
should be under your webroot somewhere or in user public_html) If you move
it anywhere separate from "admin.php", you would want a folder somewhere
called "includes" and all your .inc.php files in there.

(Does PHP parse .inc files?!?)

it without the .php extension and it not working... apparently I didn't.
Now I don't have to stick the stupid .php there! Thanks!

The .inc suffix is the result of my trying different things to make
this work. Initially, it was all .php While cutting and pasting to
create my original post I was not careful enough and got bits of two
different versions.
To reiterate, the require_once() argument was db_login.php, and the
file I was moving around in order to get it recognized was indeed
db_login.php
I apologize for the confusion.
This is driving me nuts, BTW, I don't understand why PHP doesn't just
find the darn file.
