simple error

I created a new php script. I receive a simple error message that I do not know how to fix it.

Warning: require_once(Connections/advance_conn.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\advance\article.php on line 1

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'Connections/advance_conn.php' (include_path='.;C:\xampp\php\pear\') in C:\xampp\htdocs\advance\article.php on line 1

PHP:

and this is what I have for advance_conn :

<?php
# FileName="Connection_php_mysql.htm"
# Type="MYSQL"
# HTTP="true"
$hostname_advance_conn = "localhost";
$database_advance_conn = "advance";
$username_advance_conn = "root";
$password_advance_conn = "****";
$advance_conn = mysql_pconnect($hostname_advance_conn, $username_advance_conn, $password_advance_conn) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR); 
?>

PHP:

any help ?

 

Looks to me like a simple path or file name error. PHP can't find the file that you told it was required.

you have a file named article.php that you are trying to run and in that file you have the line require_once('Connections/advance_conn.php'); correct?

Are you certain that you have a file named advance_conn.php located in C:\xampp\htdocs\advance\Connections\ ?

 

what is your require path? that is of more importance, i think your require line is incorrect.
