so.. the only thing i can give u is thanks.

 

Sometimes your invalid include path in the php.ini can be a cause to the error you have mentioned.
If so, then first identify your Loaded Configuration File and change
include_path = ".;C:\xampp\php\PEAR;"
to
include_path = ".;C:\xampp\php\PEAR;C:\applicationFolder;C:\applicationFolder\conf"
And restart your apache and refresh the page.

Pls I need solution to this bug

 

The question is, do you understand WHY James' solution worked?

From the viewpoint of a file in inc, a file in inc isn't in inc, it's in the current directory. inc/header.php would only work if you had /home/bilalgho/public_html/inc/inc/header.php

 

Ive try fixing d bug
Still giving me d same error

 

Go to your site. You can use CPanel's file functions or you can use an FTP program. Look in /home/bilalgho/public_html/inc (You may only be able to get to public_html, not to /home/bilalgho/public_html. That's okay. Just go to inc from there.

Is there a file in there named header.php? menu_top.php says there is. If it's not there, you have a missing (or misplaced) file.

 

You're just going to have to find out where header.php actually is, then change the code to point to that location. No one can tell you where it is without access to your site. (It's also possible, but not very likely, that the file has no permissions, so it can't be read, or it's defective.)

 

<?php include("./inc/menu_top.php"); ?>

PHP:

this also work

 

Not if the file it's in is located in inc/

 

of course lol

 

And we have no idea where the file is located (or if it even exists), so any path any of us posts may or may not work.
