PHP Include not working

Hey all,

I have a problem with php include.

I have the following code in include.php

<?php

// Gather variable data from the URI
// eg. filename.php?page=index
$page = (isset($_GET['page'])) ? $_GET['page'] : 'blog';

// Determine whether or not the requested file exists
if (!file_exists('includes/' . $page . '.php'))
{
    echo "File could not be included, no file exists.";
    exit;
}

switch ($page)
{

    case 'blog':
        include('includes/blog.php');
        break;
   
    // If no variable is set in the URI, or no case matches, include index
    default:
        include('includes/blog.php');
		break;
}

?>

PHP:

The i have the following in includes/blog.php

try

// Gather variable data from the URI
// eg. filename.php?page=index
$page = (isset($_GET['page'])) ? $_GET['page'] : 'blog';

// Determine whether or not the requested file exists
if (!file_exists('includes/' . $page . '.php'))
{
    echo "File could not be included, no file exists.";
    exit;
}

echo $page;

switch ($page)
{

    case 'blog':
        include('includes/blog.php');
        break;
   
    // If no variable is set in the URI, or no case matches, include index
    default:
        include('includes/blog.php');
        break;
}

?>

PHP:

and tell us output

 

still blank page

 

Try to see if you can catch an error with error reporting.

<?php
error_reporting(-1);
// Gather variable data from the URI
// eg. filename.php?page=index
$page = (isset($_GET['page'])) ? $_GET['page'] : 'blog';

// Determine whether or not the requested file exists
if (!file_exists('includes/' . $page . '.php'))
{
    echo "File could not be included, no file exists.";
    exit;
}

switch ($page)
{

    case 'blog':
        include('includes/blog.php');
        break;
   
    // If no variable is set in the URI, or no case matches, include index
    default:
        include('includes/blog.php');
        break;
}

?>

PHP:

Also, try making sure that includes/blog.php doesn't have to have specific formatting in order to be displayed by replacing your blog.php with the original.

 

It turned out it was the file formatting

Thanks Guys

 

File formatting? What does it means?

 

I think he means that the blog.php had to be a certain format to be displayed correctly. I could be wrong but it seems that way.

 

Yh needed to be encoded in utf-8

 

you want to tell me it showed you blank page because of bad charset?
